Is \n included literally because you're using single quotes for the variable?
$textdata = 'This is a test\nThis is the second line';
vs...
$textarea = "This is a test\nThis is the second line";
I would guess a lot of the pages you find are talking about what to do with
the text after submitting through the textarea, not re-displaying with
proper breaks when loading a page containing a text area that should have
data.

Subject: [PHP] new lines in textareas?
Hi all,
I have a php script which produces text which is to be displayed in
a textarea. I have the wrap for the text area set to 'hard'. I need to
have newlines inserted in the text.
"\n" and "<br>" don't work. They just get quoted literally in the
text. I suspect I need to use htmlspecialchars , but don't know what
special character to feed it.
Apologies if this should go to an HTML forum. I checked several
archives and did not find anything useful. (They tended to tell me to
put in \n or <br>!)
Thanks
Mary Anderson
