How to break line in Textarea

[eshban]

hi,


can anybody tell me that how to break line in textarea.

i m doing like this but it shows <br> as string.


<textarea name="recreation_programs" readonly rows="10" cols="35">

     $x = 0; 
    while($x < $no_of_dang_community){
        print $result_dang_community[$x]['recreation_programs'].'<br/>';
        $x++;
    }

</textarea>

Output:

tryt <br/> rtyryry5464 <br/> dasdaaaaaaaaa <br/> dasdaaaaaaaaa <br/>



I have also tried this :

     $x = 0; 
    while($x < $no_of_dang_community){
        print $result_dang_community[$x]['recreation_programs'].'\r\n';
        $x++;
    }

Put double quotes around the /r/n.

do not use nl2br before writing to database or file, use it when you take info from your's databse (not in textarea)
