    I tried this but it's not chaning new lines to <br>
    
<textarea name="addesc" id="addesc"><?php echo $data['addesc']; ?></textarea>
    Code (markup):
    
$data['addesc'] = preg_replace("/\r\n|\r/", "<br />", $_POST["addesc"]); $data['addesc'] = trim($data['addesc'])
    Code (markup):
    As such there's no $_POST["addesc"] on the post.php page. There's $_POST["do"]. I tried it too. No results.

    I am sure I am missing something. How is something like that done exactly?
