PHP nl2br function

I have a <textarea> in which i save a message which is send to the user who register in my site. Means i can modify the message from my admin panel.

i use

$message = nl2br($_POST['message']);

This command to store $message in DB everytime whenever i update the message so that it can treat my Enter as a <br>.. But now suppose if i update the message without making any changes it will add a <br> to the <br> (2 line breaks).

I enter in the textarea

Hi 
Thanx for contact Us

It will store it as

Hi<br>
Thanx for contacting us<br>

Now if i add a line to it

Hi<br>
Thanx for contacting us<br>
-Team MCXIndiaLive

It will store it as

Hi<br><br>
Thanx for contacting us<br><br>
-Team MCXIndiaLive

How can i stop that???

Maybe a better way is storing it 'Clean'. So without the line breaks.

When you display the test you'll add the nl2br, so when you'll edit the text the line breaks won't be added twice.
