I am storing the user input in a text area into a database by using nl2br().<br/>
Now the problem is that I do not want to show the "br"
tags when I show this input in a text area later but as a new line.<br/>
I was using str_replace
but this seems to add a new line each time I get back and forth.
eg. user enters
Hello
World
It gets stored as
Hello<br />World
fine with me. but when I display it again in the text area I get (after str_replace..ing the br tags with " ")
Hello
World //which if i submit gives me Hello<br /><br />World
Is there any way to achieve what I want to do over here?
