can someone please help, i am wanting to insert some html text WITH LINE BREAKS into the database as a value, but when i add in line breaks it causes the query to fail, i think this is becuase mysql doesnt support html line breaks

can someone show me a way i can keep my text structure with line breaks and get the query working thanks.

the value that's giving me trouble is the 'content'.

$query="INSERT INTO ptb_messages (id,
from_user_id, to_user_id, subject, content)
VALUES('NULL',
'1',
'".$_SESSION['user_id']."',
'Welcome...',
'Hi There Very Happy,<br/><br/>

You need to escape all quotes.
