[PHP] How do I display new lines in a textearea?

[Petre Agenbag]

Hi

I want to have a textarea that contains details read from a mysql table,
but I want to echo each row so that it is on a new line. What is the
new-line character for a textarea? ( in effect the reverse of nl2br()
)

Thanks

A newline is \n

$text = word\nword\nword\n;

echo textarea$word/textarea;

will have each word on a different line.

Hi 
Thanks, I DID use \n, BUT, I made a stupid mistake, I did:

textarea
?php
echo $word.'\n';
?
/textarea

And the literal ' did not parse the \n, replacing with  works fine...
