how to reformat text information from webform add return enter between lines

ok, today i had a script. and im not an expert on php, but when i finished my form, i ended up with one whole long line instead as the actual information i input on the form. instead, in my database i saw /r/n so when i displayed the information from my textarea that i entered on my form it came out on one long continuous line.

for example lets say i entered this information on my form textarea:

INPUT

so when i get the information from my database and i display it on my web page, is shows like this:
OUTPUT

as you can see, its a long continous line and that's not how it was entered, i want to show it as the user entered it. so how do you do it.. simple

i created a function or a class you can use to format the text so that it will show exactly as it was entered into the form

PHP FUCNTION:

function form_txt($text){

	$text = str_replace("n", '<br>',$text);

	return $text;

}

lets say my datbase field is called content

so using the function above i can clean up by using this code:

CODE:

so once i do that it will display my content as this:
