    Default TEXTAREA line breaks?

    Hey peeps,

    I've got an edit profile sort of thing, and I want to make it so when they hit enter and it goes down a line in my textarea box on the form, that will show on the frontend page. So they don't have to use <br>. It shows the text on two different lines when editing in the textarea box eg.

    line1
    line2

    And this is how it shows up on the frontend page:

    line1 line2

    Would appreciate some help from you fine coders.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    P.S This is coded in HTML/PHP.

    Use the function nl2br().

    So:

    PHP Code:
    echo nl2br$message );
