PHP Echo does not include line spacing

Question

<textarea cols="60" rows="10" type="text" name="inputMessage" value="" </textarea> </textarea> <br>

$message = $_POST['inputMessage'];
echo $message;

When the inputMessage is:
lorem ipsum dolor
lorem ipsum dolor

It prints it without line spacing. like 'lorem ipsum dolor lorem ipsum dolor'

Answer 1

$message = nl2br($_POST['inputMessage']);
echo $message;

Should do the trick, nl2br documentation .

Answer 2

Someone posted the answer, but I assume he deleted it since it doesn't exist anymore after I refreshed the page.

The solution was this:

echo nl2br($message);

Other solutions may produce double-line-spacing even if there just one.
