You could use PHP constant    array   explode PHP EOL   text     additional notes  1  For me this is the easiest and the safest way because it is cross platform compatible  Windows Linux etc   2  It is better to use PHP CONSTANT whenever you can for faster execution

It works for me   if  isset   POST  MyTextAreaName           array explode    r n     POST  MyTextAreaName        now  my  array will have all the lines I need      for   i   0   i  lt   count  array    i                   echo  trim  array  i       lt br  gt              make sure to close the if block with another curly brace

Old tread     Well  someone may bump into this     Please check out http   telamenta com techarticle php-explode-newlines-and-you  Rather than using    values   explode   n    value string     Use a safer method like    values   preg split     n r       value string

For a  lt br gt  on each line  use   lt textarea wrap  physical  gt  lt  textarea gt    You will get  ns in the value of the textarea  Then  use the nl2br   function to create  lt br gt s  or you can explode   it for  lt br gt  or  n   Hope this helps

Use PHP DOM to parse and add  lt br  gt  in it  Like this    html     lt textarea gt  put returns between paragraphs for linebreak add 2 spaces at end indent code by 4 spaces quote by placing  gt  at start of line  lt  textarea gt       parsing begins here   doc   new DOMDocument      doc- gt loadHTML  html    nodes    doc- gt getElementsByTagName  textarea       get text and add  lt br  gt  then remove last  lt br  gt   lines    nodes- gt item 0 - gt nodeValue     split it by newlines  lines   explode   n    lines      add  lt br  gt  at end of each line foreach  lines as  line       output     line     lt br  gt       remove last  lt br  gt   output   rtrim  output    lt br  gt        display it var dump  output     This outputs   string   put returns between paragraphs  lt br  gt for linebreak add 2 spaces at end  lt br  gt indent code by 4 spaces  lt br  gt quote by placing  gt  at start of line    length 141

You will want to look into the nl2br   function along with the trim     The nl2br   will insert  lt br   gt  before the newline character   n  and the trim   will remove any ending  n or whitespace characters     text   trim   POST  textareaname        remove the last  n or whitespace character  text   nl2br  text      insert  lt br   gt  before  n    That should do what you want    UPDATE  The reason the following code will not work is because in order for  n to be recognized  it needs to be inside double quotes since double quotes parse data inside of them  where as single quotes takes it literally  IE   n    text   str replace   n     lt br   gt     text     To fix it  it would be    text   str replace   n     lt br   gt     text     But it is still better to use the builtin nl2br   function  PHP provides    EDIT  Sorry  I figured the first question was so you could add the linebreaks in  indeed this will change the answer quite a bit  as anytype of explode   will remove the line breaks  but here it is    text   trim   POST  textareaname      textAr   explode   n    text    textAr   array filter  textAr   trim       remove any extra  r characters left behind  foreach   textAr as  line           processing here        If you do it this way  you will need to append the  lt br   gt  onto the end of the line before the processing is done on your own  as the explode   function will remove the  n characters    Added the array filter   to trim   off any extra  r characters that may have been lingering
