Preserve format of data send through textarea

Hello,
I need to know if there is a way of preserving the exact format of data that is send through a textarea. The data is send via $_POST variable from the submit page, and is written in a file. However, when I see the output file, I get:

Code:

instead of

Should I add something in my php submit page in the textarea part or is it something I have to do with the data before I write it in the file?

Thank you

Maybe the problem is when you output it to the browser. Maybe something is filtering it somewhere.

Maybe the text is coming correctly. is it a <textarea> or a rich text editor like tinymce/fckeditor?

Try doing this in the first lines is the page that receives the POST data:

Code:

---

<?php
echo '<pre>';
var_dump();
echo '</pre>';
exit;
?>

That should show how text is coming.
