have HTML in the DB, you can directly echo it out and use CSS to
style it accordingly. Just my 2 cents. :)

True. I was assuming that the text was going to be final and not being
edited again.
@PHPScriptor:
If you do have a lot of textareas to work around with, why don't you give
TinyMCE a try. Thats the best option you have got. It replaces the textarea
into more of a html compatible one and w
Well, its not exactly a 'problem' at all. The textarea just does what its
meant to do - accept raw text input and lets you process it via form action.
This is neither a PHP or a HTML 'problem'.
The reason you cannot see the line breaks when you echo the text on your
browser is the fact that the br

Don't do that unless it
Yes, I thought about that. But then you have a problem when you're going to
'edit' that data back in a form. Then you get "first linesecond line"
in your textarea.

Well, the problem is that I have a lot of forms, a lot of data to output, and
even then, I don't know always where I have a textarea or just a inputfield.
But true, I could even set the nl2br on an input field, it wouldn't make a
difference.
But I just don't understand why this problem exists? Wha
Mja, that's not my intention, in that case I also could use nl2br...
Why does this problem exists? And why does it work with ? Is this a PHP
problem or more a HTML problem?

Well, instead of storing the text from the textarea directly into the db,
validate it and wrap it with tags (replace \n) and then store it.
This way you needn't use nl2br every time you retrieve the text from db.
