Like you say it is done using <br /> in HTML the same is correct for PHP.

echo("The line breaks <br /> here");

That will result in your page looking like

The line breaks
here

However when viewing the source of the outputted HTML it will look like.

The line breaks <br /> here

If you want to add a line break in the outputted source its.

The line breaks \n <br /> here

Which will result in the source looking like this

The line breaks
<br /> here

You can convert newlines found in form data to html line breaks as follows with the nl2br() function:

PHP Code:

<?php

// your form data which you are probably getting from $_POST or $_GET or $_REQUEST.

$form_data = "something\nSomething else";



echo nl2br($form_data);

?>

Will output:

Code:

something<br />
Something else
