replacing the \r\n with <br> will show <br> in the textarea, i need it to show just a line break in a textarea. i have no problem arraying the news on the page and showing a line break, but when i make an edit page, the textarea arrays the '\r\n' or '<br>' http://www.sourcetournaments.co.uk/test.php that is my page... how do i replace those '\r\n' with a line break in a text area

hey guys... im new here, but have read many posts you guys have made and it has helped me alot in the past, basically i have been writing php for a short period and am doing quite well, but i need help on some things, and i signed up to get help from you. the first thing i need to get help with is arraying data from a database onto a textarea, so it can be used like an 'edit' feature for news feeds etc... i know how to get the information off the database into the text area using an array function, but because when i post new news, the line breaks go into the database as '\r\n' i need to know how to get it onto the text area and replace the \r\n with line breaks so it doesnt show up like "<textarea name='news'>hello this is a new site\r\nWelcome</textarea>" can you guys help me?
