This is true.
Also, watch the line endings coming aout of that textarea - you may want
to normalize them. I prefer unix linebreaks, so I use this to convert mac
and DOS endings:
str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $textarea_value)

cannot have multiple lines, use this little amount of text Michael Egan wrote: I've experienced the same problem. It's not that the line returns disappear - they will still be retained but stored as /n or /r. You'll need to find a way of replacing the line breaks with a html paragraph break - assuming your required output is html. Perhaps some of the regexp functions will help in this - I haven't got the code I used for this to hand.

I've experienced the same problem. It's not that the line returns disappear - they will still be retained but stored as /n or /r. You'll need to find a way of replacing the line breaks with a html paragraph break - assuming your required output is html. Perhaps some of the regexp functions will help in this - I haven't got the code I used for this to hand.
