Keep newlines from textarea?..

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I'm creating a simple encoding program, and what I want it to do is retain the newlines, as echoing a textarea for example will strip them out (I think). How do I retain the n's or whatnot and place them into a single string along with the text? will it be too much trouble?

I just want it simple so I can nl2br() it in the end. I don't know what html/PHP does when it POSTS's data from a textarea.
