    Default formatting textarea data

    Can anyone tell me how to format textarea data before inserting it into a
    SQL database so that the text retains its format when output. (ie...
    Carriage returns) If someone enters 3 paragraghs into a textarea I want to
    output that data as 3 paragraghs, not 1 data chunk. Thanks.
