New line issues...

[Leader of Men]

I have a form that contains a text area, much like the one I'm typing in now.

I changed it to an <input type etc. etc.> but I think it would be a lot better if it were a bigger box.

The problem is, if I make it a bigger box, and people hit enter

like this

It goes down a couple lines but doesn't create the <br>, so when I want to fwrite it in PHP I want it to say <br> instead of the line drop, however, it CANT still have the extra line. The entire fwrite needs to belong on the same line.

So if I wanted to post this:

I'm a happy
Butterfly

I would want the code to be like this:
[code:1:a9d823970b]I'm a happy <br>butterfly[/code:1:a9d823970b]

Not:
[code:1:a9d823970b]I'm a happy<br>
butterfly.[/code:1:a9d823970b]

Not this either:
[code:1:a9d823970b]I'm a happy
Butterfly[/code:1:a9d823970b]

str_replace($string,"\n","<br>\n";

I fixed it with a combination of that method and nl2br.

Sometimes I just dont think
