Like so:
===========================

        $desc = split($row[21],"\n");
        $i = 0;
        while ( $i < #$desc )
        {
                echo ("$desc[$i]<BR>\n");
                $i++;
        }

===========================

This is a segment from one of my lite-embedded HTML pages.
Contents of $row[21] are split at the points of '\n' (end of line) and put
into an array called $desc

I guess you can understand the rest.
