Good point. Only problem is, if someone hit enter a-million times,
you would end up with a-million spaces where the "\n" characters were.
To take care of that repetition, maybe something like:
while (strpos($textarea_text, "\n\n")) {
.....
}
would be one way you could do it.
$new_str = ereg_replace("[\n\r]+", " ", $textarea_text);
would be another and avoid the loop as well at the expense of adding some regexps :)

I think it might be better to replace all "\n" characters with spaces " ",
otherwise you will end up with sentences that have no space break between
them.
Ie:
<original text>
This is the first sentence.
This is the second sentence.
</original text>
...would become:
<replaced text>
This is the first sentence.This is the second sentence.
</replaced text>
