How can you force a line break in a textarea in PHP?

To force a line break in a textarea in PHP, you can use the "\n" character to represent a new line. When you save the textarea input to a database or display it on a webpage, you can replace the "\n" characters with "<br>" tags to ensure the line breaks are rendered correctly. 

// Assuming $textareaInput contains the input from the textarea
$textareaInput = $_POST[&#039;textarea_input&#039;];

// Save the textarea input to the database with line breaks
$textareaInputWithLineBreaks = nl2br($textareaInput);

// Display the textarea input on a webpage with line breaks
echo nl2br($textareaInput);
