Automatic <br> in text form.

I’m having a minor problem with the formatting of the text in a guestbook.
When I fill in the text and press enter for a row change, it doesn’t show in the final post. It only makes row changes if I actually write <br> in the textarea form.

[code=html]<textarea name=”comment” cols=”40″ rows=”5″ id=”comment” class=”textbox”></textarea>[/code]

[CODE]$sql=”INSERT INTO $tbl_name(name, email, comment, datetime)VALUES(‘$name’, ‘$email’, ‘$comment’, ‘$datetime’)”;
$result=mysql_query($sql);[/CODE]

[CODE]
<? echo $rows[‘comment’]; ?>[/CODE]

Anything that I need to add for those automatic row changes?

[code=php]
<textarea name="comment" cols="40" rows="5" id="comment" class="textbox" wrap="hard"></textarea>
[/code]

more info on textarea can be found here

The formatting is ok in the database. But when you take the text from the database and export it to the field, it doesn't show.

[code=php]

<? echo nl2br($rows['comment']); ?>

[/code]
