textarea new line to mysql database

Hello, How do you guys handle this "problem". Just a form with a textarea. When I use enters in the textarea it's saved to the db like this: database: "first line second line" when I edit the value in the form: "first line second line" when I output the value to html: "first linesecond line" (unless I use nl2br()) Is there a way that I could save it to the db that will work for db, output and edit without using any other function like nl2br? ----- visit my website at http://www.phpscriptor.com/ http://www.phpscriptor.com/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/textarea-new-line-to-mysql-database-tp23560478p23560478.html Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
