Carriage returns to new paragraphs

[buzzt]

I have several text documents which I want to include (include("file.txt")) in my php. How would I make the carriage returns in the text file be read as either line breaks or new paragraphs (so I don't have to add any HTML tags) when I include them in a php page?

You might look at nl2br() (

if u don't want to put the <br>s in the text file, u can't include it. u'll have to fopen it to put the <br>s, like:

$file = &quot;txt.txt&quot;;
$f = fopen($file,&quot;r&quot;
$content = fread($f, filesize($file));
fclose($f);

and then
$content = nl2br($content);

now you have it ready to display, just echo it

echo $contents;
