php - remove new line when sending request to server via Ajax Post with JQuery

Question

I'm trying to use Ajax with JQuery, what I want to do is just send multiline textbox value to php with Ajax.

I'm using that code, it sends txtAnswer value to php, unfortunately, it removes new lines ( ) from data. How can I solve this problem... Thanks in advance.

$.post(
    'post-answer.php', 
     {
        answer: $("#txtAnswer").val(),
        qid: <?= $question_ID ?>
     },
     function (ajaxResponse) {
        $('#answers').html(ajaxResponse)
     }
   );

Answer 1

Try: escape( $("#txtAnswer").val() )
