How to echo an input of an textarea with line breaks?
I'm using an textarea to send text to my DB.
Screenshot of db:
When I'm reading from the DB it removes the line breaks, how can I keep them in $row['opmerkingen']?
Solution
When displaying text, use nl2br() to convert newlines to <br/> tags, i.e., instead of <?php echo $row['text']; ?>, use <?php echo nl2br($row['text']); ?>.
By default, browsers display newlines as spaces, therefore they have to be converted to <br/> tags.
For those who find this useful - please consider using white-space: pre-line, suggested by Emil Vikström. I'm not a web guy anymore and easily can't verify this, but Boaz says in comments that it is supported by all modern browsers. If so, that should be preferred to using nl2br().
