While the two solutions provided so far are Really Nifty (tm) both ignore
the fact that Mac browsers/users may not be providing \n in the text area
in the first place.
<?php
//Convert line break to Unix standard:
$text = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $text);
$text = str_replace("\r", "\n", $text);
//Convert to HTML:
$text = nl2br($text);
?>
I HIGHLY recommend you do the conversion to Unix as part of your input
filtering.
The nl2br should be done only on OUTPUT, imho.
YMMV
