Taking the value of a text area ...

[Mc Ghoush]

When I pass the value of a TEXTAREA to a variable and display it, I get another form of its text, for instace:
When I write :
Hi,
My name is.....




I get:
Hi, My name is........

How can i pass the same text form .....

actually you probably get the same thing, but in HTML you would need a <br> to display a newline.

use nlbr()


$textarea=nlbr($textarea);

What are the differences between nlbr and nl2br?

[Mark Hensler]

The difference is nlbr() is not a PHP function. It's most likely a typo for nl2br().
