well, i don't think nl2br() is  a solution here because nl2br() only replace
the '\n' with
<br/> html tags which is displayed inside the textarea. the textarea will
display a new
line with '\n'..

$str = "hello\nworld";
will display

hello
world

in text area. but

$st = 'hello\nworld'.

will be display as

hello\nworld

just like what TG trying to say..
