I hope I do not seem mean but I recommend learning the php language a bit better before getting into a framework.
You sound like you are trying to create a form, and you want the data entered in it to be displayed with <br /> tags instead of newlines which does not output on the browser. Put the content through the nl2br() function before outputting it to the browser. when you hit "enter" in an editor, what it creates is called a "newline". As you seem to know, if you want a line-break outputted on the browser, you need <br /> instead of the newline. That is what nl2br() is for.
