Hello Samson, when you're opening your php script in a browser its by default considered as HTML document.

You can get desired effect in 2 ways.

  • Set header to text/plain, at the begining of your script like that:
<?php
header('Content-type: text/plain');
  • Or use nl2br function to insert brs into your output.

Hope it helps

Beautiful! Thanks. That 2nd method seems a little complicated; I didn't try it. The first's just fine!
