You don't need regex.

 

str_replace( '<br />', '', $subject );

You could do this, it removes the br and places a line break in its place:

 

<textarea><?= str_replace( '<br />', "\n", $subject ); ?></textarea>

If you're not using regex for finding a specific string then you should always use str_replace().
