Textarea to FCK Editor -- formatting

[computerzworld]

Hello,
I am having website in which user side there is text area in which user can enter description and on the admin side that description can be viewed as well as edited in FCK Editor. But if the user has entered it the data with formatting in textarea that means with enter key pressed between the lines & other space formatting that doesn't displayed in FCK Editor. What should I do now? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

fck editor crates and edits html. so you have to convert what the user has typed in to textarea in to html, as they could only really add line breaks nl2br() should be sufficient.,

Yes exactly...
I tried to replace \n with <br> using str_replace but it didn't worked.... so.. how can I exactly make my textarea to behave like WYSIWYG?

it will never be exactly the same, if you want it to be why not replace the textarea with the fck editor. Did you try nl2br() ?

As my client requires to use textarea for entering description from the user side, I have to use it, I have already used nl2br() for replacing \n to <br> as well as I have replaced " " with &nbsp using str_replace. But the problem I am facing is of wrapping up the text inside textarea in mozilla.
