I see 2 possibilities to go and 1 warning:
1th way to go:
you insert another field into your db called "originalCode" for example
where you insert the code also but don't modify it at all. If someone wants
to download the code you fetch the code from that field
2th way to go:
you stay with only 1 field holding the code snippet and you don't change
the code when inserting but you use nl2br when displaying. Needs a bit more
processing time (I don't think it's a lot) but needs less disk space than
1th way
warning:
don't try to get rid of <BR> tags or other things afterwards because you
could run into unsolvable problems (what when a coder has <BR> in his code?
You could destroy it!)
I hope I could help
