//in form;
<textarea id="wmd-input" class="wmd-panel" name="content" ></textarea>

//in database
$content =  $_POST["content"] ;

You should really store the markdown source and not the generated HTML code. Perform the final rendering on the server and don't forget to sanitize the HTML in case your markdown renderer doesn't already do that. — ThiefMaster, Jun 05 '12 at 11:59
@Mayankswami: The textarea contains the markdown code. I know what his question is and since he shouldn't do that in the first place I posted that comment. — ThiefMaster, Jun 05 '12 at 13:27

Please look at this..

Inserting text from textarea into MySQL database without losing formatting

Its the same issue like you have.

Kindly try this if fulfill your need..

$content = nl2br($_POST["content"]);

Use this before you save in DB if you want to display the content in HTML so that all new line character will be converted into <br/>. And Save as it is (without nl2br) if you want it to display again in textarea.
