Replacing n with <br>

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 29.2003

Hi ?

I wrote a small text in a file called text.txt. The text reads something like this:

Hello there!

How are you?
Im fine!

But when I print this file on the screen i see the text placed in one line like this:

Hello there!How are you?Im fine!

So I was thinking maybe I could replace all the n in the text file with a <br> ?
How can I do this? Or is there a better solusuoin?

THX!

@Khalid_AliAug 29.2003 — I am not very well versed in PHP how ever,Here is what I can sugges.

When a fileis read the file ointer already knows where is the linbreak in the file,so you don't have to worry about that.just read the file using

fgets

and after every new line append the line with <br/>

I am sure you are already familiar with file system functions...

if not then visit resource.
