Formatting Question

Sorry to plague you with a question that should have a simple answer, but I can't find said answer anywhere (probably looking for the wrong things in the wrong places!) Basically I want to allow a user to input a string via a form into a database, I have the code to do that and it works almost 100% - I have made it so that any html tags are stripping off the string before saving it, but I do want to allow some basic formatting - namely when a user takes a new line in the textbox, I want the new line to carry over to the database. At the moment the user could type in something like this... wibble wobble But after it has been submitted and then retrieved from the database it will return wibblewobble. Any ideas?
