the textarea new line problem?! 2

[namida]

Hi
I browse through the forum and found similar problems, but I can't really understand how to apply it to mine. I'm sure a lot of people have faced this before. Anyway I would greatly appreaciate it if someone would explain to me how to display text with new lines

I have a textarea, and the wrap is at 'physical' it submits to the database, stores it . the database submits it with line. it works fine.

The problem is when I output it. It displays new lines properly when I view source but of course in the browser it all goes into the same line.

There's no \n or whatsoever as far as I know, I tried finding \n from the database and it doesn't exist.

So I don't know how to convert those 'new lines' into <BR>

Should I just use <pre> ?
