I have a textarea on a webpage that gets stored in a database. I'd like to convert the newline to an HTML <br> before it gets stored so when I display it, the line breaks as it was typed. I've been looking around but haven't found an example.
$text =~ s/\r\n/<br>/g;
That doesn't work because likely you have just \n not \r\n
Try this:
$text =~ s/\r//g; $text =~ s/\n/<br \/>/g;
