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

Trying to get line breaks to work reading a .txt file on Apache2 and PHP 5.3.3 with MacOSX 10.6.6 and Camino, the echo nl2br( $text); didn't work right until I printed the file size first too. BTW it doesn't seem to matter if the .txt file has Linux/MacOSX LF or Windows CRLF line breaks or the text encoding is UTF-8 or Windows Latin1, Camino gets it out OK.

 
" );
echo nl2br ( $text );
?>
