Havent tested this yet but might need to.
Since I have found the problem of missing newlines to be caused by my 'tail'
program, Im
simply saving the data from the textarea 'as is' to the database. When loading
it again
from the db, line breaks are intact so all is good, but the practise of storing
line
breaks in a database doesnt sit well with me so I might do something of an
alternative
solution...
