validation was not working for text area.

I replaced the regex with this one (added the '\S):

if(!preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\'\s'\S]{1,200}+)/", $message)){
$errMsg7 .= "Please enter only words and numbers";
$valid = false;
}

this now fixed the validation problem. So it does the validation if there are multiple line of message.

However if there is another field having validation problem then the user message (<?php echo($message)?>)
retained inside the text area would have /n/r characters.

I tried $message = preg_replace( "#\r\n|\n|\r#", '<br />', $message );
and $message = str_replace( array("\r\n", "\n","\r"), '<br />', $message );

but does not do anything.
