You need to use nl2br().

Are you storing in database?

Diafol is correct, before its stored use nl2br as such
nl2br($string);

Hi Priti_P,

A newline escape character would do for an inline and your sample would also do it. example:

<?php

$myString = "MULTILINE:
hi
this
is
for
test";

echo "<textarea rows='6'>" . $myString . "</textarea>";

$myString2 = "INLINE:\nhi\nthis\nis\nfor\ntest";

echo "<textarea rows='6'>" . $myString2 . "</textarea>";

he
use to br there

Man, I hate spammers.
