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?
Thanks.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
$fh = fopen("filename.txt", 'r');
$pageText = fread($fh, 25000);
echo $pageText;
</body>
</html>

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.

一行代码：
echo nl2br( file_get_contents('file.txt') );

If you just want to show the output of the file within the HTML code formatted the same way it is in the text file you can wrap your echo statement with a pair of pre tags:
echo "<pre>" . $pageText . "</pre>;
Some of the other answers look promising depending on what you are trying todo.

在回声之前，一定要包括
header('Content-Type: text/plain');

For simple reads like this, I'd do something like this:
$fileContent = file_get_contents("filename.txt");
echo str_replace("\n","<br>",$fileContent);
This will take care of carriage return and output the text. Unless I'm writing to a file, I don't use fopen and related functions.
Hope this helps.

Are you outputting to HTML or plain text? If HTML try adding a <br> at the end of each line. eg
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096); // Read a line.
echo "$buffer<br/>";
}

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.
<?php
$filename = "/Users/Shared/Copies/refrain.txt";
$file_ptr = fopen ( $filename, "r" );
$file_size = filesize ( $filename );
$text = fread ( $file_ptr, $file_size );
fclose ( $file_ptr );
echo ( "File size : $file_size bytes<br> <br>" );
echo nl2br ( $text );
?>

您需要将您的 PHP 代码包装成<?php <YOU CODE HERE >?> ，并将其保存为.php或.php5 （取决于您的 apache 设置）。

Say you have an index.php file hosted by the web server. You want to insert some multi-line text file contents into it. That's how you do it:
<body>
<div>Some multi-line message below:</div>
<div><?= nl2br(file_get_contents('message.txt.asc')); ?></div>
</body>
This <?= ... ?> part is just a shorthand, which instructs the web server, that it needs to be treated as a PHP echo argument.
