User Profile- edit profile <br> tags

On my user profile edit page, in the about me text box, I have it so that the current information from the database for the user is shown, so they can edit the old info. But in the text box it shows all the <br> tags which are generated after the user updates the profile.
How can I hide this, as I have to go through and manually delete the <br> tags in the text box when I want to update.

Why is there <br> tags being generated?
Do you mind showing in more detail what's happening?

Well this is the edit_profile.php
<?php
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$path .= "/members/core/init.inc.php";
include_once($path);
if (isset($_POST['location'], $_POST['info'])){
$errors = array();
if (preg_match('#^[a-z0-9 ]+$#i', $_POST['location']) === 0){
$errors[] = 'Invalid Location';
}
if (empty($_FILES['avatar']['tmp_name']) === false){
$file_ext = strtolower(substr($file_name, -(strpos($file_name, '.')-1)));
//$file_ext = end(explode('.', $_FILES['avatar']['name']));
//if (in_array(strtolower($file_ext), array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif')) === false){
//$errors[] = 'Must be an image.';
//}//
}
if (empty($errors)){
set_profile_info($_POST['location'], $_POST['info'], (empty($_FILES['avatar']['tmp_name'])) ? false : $_FILES['avatar']['tmp_name']);
}
$user_info = array(
'location' => htmlentities($_POST['location']),
'info' => htmlentities($_POST['info'])
);
}else{
$user_info = fetch_user_info($_SESSION['id']);
}
$user_info = fetch_trades_info($_SESSION['email']);
$email = $_SESSION['email'];
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

so as you can see this here in edit_profile.php
<div class="elements">
<label for="info">Info :</label>
<textarea name="info" id="info" rows="8" cols="50" ><?php echo $user_info['info']; ?></textarea>
</div>
It just displays the current info in the text area. but as it displays it shows <br> tags for where ever the user had hit enter.
Below you can see this in the edit profile page. And below the form is a preview of the profile page for the user.

Are you using the nl2br function anywhere?
What you can do is run this regex:
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', "\n", $string);
it will replace all <br> tags with \n ( newline ) characters.

I added
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', "\n", $string);
but removed the "\n" so now it is
return preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', "", $string);
and this seems to work fine, no problems that I can see,
but could removing "\n" affect anything?

I assume that you use nl2br ? (
Docs)
If you are, don't use it when INSERTing into the DB. Only use it where it is actually being shown. (not on the profile edit either)

Ah okay, so having
$info = mysql_real_escape_string(nl2br(htmlentities($info)));
for my update profile function in user.inc isn't a good idea.

Exactly.
When outputting: nl2br($sql_stuff['row whatever']);

Alright thanks for that. I'll make the appropriate changes.
