Textarea removes new lines

I have an HTML form and when data entered, and submitted values get stored into the database by PHP. When textarea field filled with text for example: Textarea value is:

A

B

C

Then I save this to the database and then display it, it shows up as: 

ABC

All the newlines in the text section that added disappear. Is there any way to prevent that?

This is because HTML does not explicitly form a line break with "newline" characters.

You need to use PHP's function nl2br() to convert all newline characters in your text-area contents to HTML <br> tags.
