Output text file with line breaks in PHP

Question

I\'m trying to open a text file and output its contents with the code below. The text file includes line breaks but when I echo the file its unformatted. How do I fix this?<

Answer 1

To convert the plain text line breaks to html line breaks, try this:

    $fh = fopen("filename.txt", 'r');

    $pageText = fread($fh, 25000);

    echo nl2br($pageText);

Note the nl2br function wrapping the text.
