Didn't know exactly where to post this, but: How do I get line breaks

definately has line breaks in it, because I
replaced all the line breaks with <br /> tags ( using the php function
nl2br() ), and <br /> tags showed up in the textarea.

The line-break in textarea is "\n", not <br /> tag. So, if you get data
from one textarea and display in another textarea, you don't need to
convert anything.
