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.


Only getting to this now, but doesn't nl2br() do what you want?
