[Resolved] bp_activity_add strips newline characters ?? Why?

Hi programmers,

I have bben using bp_activity_add to insert youtube videos into my activity stream. The problem is this function strips away the newline characters when inserted.

for example this is my content

$content = ‘Video \n http://youtube.com/watch?v=thtk89 \n watch it here’;

I get the string in the same line inserted in the php database

Any helps is appreciated. It seems crazy BP is stripping the tags

Instead of trying the newline characater, try <br /> or <p>.

If that’s the exact code you’re using (and it hasn’t been mangled by the forum), you need to use " marks instead of ' for PHP to convert the \n into a newline.

Thank you, that was the problem.
I need to brush up on my php string processing knowledge.

Have a great day !!
