title: PHP ignores newline when using echo to display a text stored in mysql
body: <p>Im working on a ticketing system and there's a part where the user inputs his/her comments in a text area. The whole text (including the new line), no matter how long oe how many ENTERs you press, is stored in mysql, I checked when I viewed the records using phpMyAdmin. But unfortunately "echo"-ing it in PHP ignores the newline. say, if i input this block of text,</p>
  
  <p>HI</p>
  
  <p>HELLO</p>
  
  <p>HOW</p>
  
  <p>ARE YOU</p>
  
  <p>when echoed, it goes like this:</p>
  
  <p>HI HELLO HOW ARE YOU</p>
  
  <p>it ignores newline and converts it to space instead. how do I fix that?</p>
