You want to use addslashes before you store it in the database. When you retrieve the data, you want to use removeslashes to convert things back.
If you are just going to display the submitted text as regular text on a page, you want to use nl2br to convert the returns (new lines) to and html <br />.

Hello, How can I make it so when a user types something in to a textarea, when they push enter, it stays as an enter? I've tried using a replace function that replaces the ASCII code for enter to \n but that didn't work.
