Prevent Joomla editor from stripping newlines/returns

Question

I am using Joomla 2.5 and have added the text editor to an admin component. When I save the text from the editor, all the newlines/returns are stripped from the text.

I am using a similar SQL call as the following:

"UPDATE....... SET body=" .$db->quote(JRequest::getVar('body'))

I also tried saving the text without the $db->quote() call without any success.

take care, lee

Answer 1

Ok. The problem was not the editor, but rather how I was extracting the text with my JRequest::getVar() call. I added JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW to the parameters and the problem is fixed.
