A <textarea>, nl2br/br2nl problem...HELP!!!!

[markkanning]

Okay, folks...here's the deal:
I've got the classic replace "\n" with break tags when dumping <textarea> content into a database, and THEN returning it to an "Edit" <textarea> with the break tags replaced with "\n". I've been surfing for hours on this subject and can't find a solution that works. So, here's my code:

The "insert" script:
[code]
<?php
  $id=$_POST['id'];
  $disp_ord=$_POST['disp_ord'];
  $name=$_POST['name'];
  $image=$_POST['image'];
  $bio=$_POST['bio'];

  $id = addslashes($id);
  $disp_ord = addslashes($disp_ord);
  $name = addslashes($name);
  $image = addslashes($image);
  $bio = nl2br($bio);
 
  include 'dbconnect.php';
  $query = "insert into team (disp_ord, name, image, bio) values ('$disp_ord', '$name', '$image', '$bio')";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  if ($result) {
  header("Location: vieweditteam.php");
  }
?>
[/code]

Notice I'm using [i]$bio = nl2br($bio);[/i] which is the <textarea> in question. It does exactly what I've read it should do, so no problems there.

Here's the "view/edit" page code:
[code]
<?php
  include 'dbconnect.php';
  $query = "select * from team order by disp_ord";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
  for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
  {
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo "<form action=updatemember.php method=post name=updatemember>
<textarea>".stripslashes($row["bio"])."</textarea>
</form>";
  }
?>
[/code]

Notice the "bio" reference:[i]stripslashes($row["bio"])[/i]. This returns the text content with the break tags that the nl2br replaced. So, the ultimate question is what method do I use to get the <textarea> back to the proper non-break-tag state. I'm aware of the br2nl() thing and the str_replace thing, but how do I implement any of them in this context?

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
