Format text from a form

[Ceejeeb]

I have a form on my site so people can post comments. At the moment the message box is a text area and its is just stored as text in th database. I need to be able to keep the formatting that they use in their message (eg line brakes etc).
Im sure it can be done, any ideas?

This deosnt seem to work for me. From what i can see this only works if the user types \n in their comment, but i need to insert a <br> when ever they have hit enter.
