Formatting issue with Zend textarea

I have a text area which I use to entered the following text with those line breaks, so it looks like paragraphs already. I save it into the database, and I can see the format is still being preserved.

This is some text.

And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line.

And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line.

But when I pull the data from the database and display it, it looks all like 1 line.

This is some text. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. Clip 1 by user 1 And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line. And this another line.

but when I view the HTML source, I see it's separated into 3 lines.

What should I do to make it display in 3 paragraphs?

When you display the text you may have to wrap it in a call to nl2br:

echo nl2br($test);
