Answer 2

Please look at this..

Inserting text from textarea into MySQL database without losing formatting

Its the same issue like you have.

Kindly try this if fulfill your need..

$content = nl2br($_POST["content"]);

Use this before you save in DB if you want to display the content in HTML so that all new line character will be converted into <br/>. And Save as it is (without nl2br) if you want it to display again in textarea.
