HTML textarea is showing HTML characters

I am using this PHP Code:

($result["address1"] ? $result["address1"].'
' : '')
.($result["address2"] ? $result["address2"].'
' : '')
.($result["address3"] ? $result["address3"].'
' : '')
.($result["town"] ? $result["town"].'
' : '')
.($result["county"] ? $result["county"].'
' : '')
.($result["postcode"] ? $result["postcode"] : '')

after each line, i want to show a line break but not the HTML code.

using the above is displaying the &#10; i have also tried using <br />, \n and \r but they all show too

As mentioned earlier in comments, you could use something like the code below to achieve what you want:

$result["address1"] . PHP_EOL

\n will work when wrapped in double-quotes, i.e. "\n", but it will not work when wrapped in single quotes, i.e. '\n'.

You could try something like this.

$output = null;

foreach($result AS $key => $value) {
    if (!empty($result[$key])) {
        $output .= $value.PHP_EOL;
    }
}

echo $output;
