How do you get a textfield to resize in the vertical direction?

Basically I have text being dynamically loaded from PHP into a series of dynamically created text boxes. Each new text box is placed below the previous one to create a list.

The problem is that in some text boxes there will be more text content than others. So rather than fix the textboxes height and end up with irregular gaps between each one. I need them to stretch and shrink individually.

Whats the best way of doing this?
