You shouldn’t use nl2br unless you’re outputting it on the web page and not a textarea. About the saving part(saving the <br /> in the database). I don’t get why you need it there, any reason for it?

on webpage I want display it
so when I put the news on form_textarea when I press ENTER it became

As I said in my other reply, when you’re outputting on the webpage, you can use the nl2br(). You can also use, auto_typography()

I mean if the user use the admin area on the form_textarea they dont need to type

.
they just typing and when the want make a newline they just press Enter
how we make it?? what we usa to make that? nl2br??

You don’t need to type in ‘<br />’.

before using or echo value in view
use:

echo nl2br($textarea_value);
