You need to filter your output before printing to the textarea. You need this to convert the <br /> tag to a newline:

<?php

function br2nl($string){

  $return=eregi_replace('<br[[:space:]]*/?'.

    '[[:space:]]*>',chr(13).chr(10),$string);

  return $return;

}

?>

Its a reverse function of nl2br. Once you filtered your output, then only you print to your textarea.

eregi_replace is deprecated and should no longer be used. Also, doesn't php have a nl2br function?
