I have a string of text in a variable, let's say:

 

$text = "<a href='example.com'>Example.com</a>\n<a href='test.com'>Test.com</a>";

 

...and I echo the string with nl2br...

 

echo nl2br($text);

 

...which returns in my html source code as:

 

<a href='example.com'>Example.com</a><br />
<a href='test.com'>Test.com</a>

 

This is fine, but I am having the following problem when I use it as follows...

<html>
...snip...

     <a href='somelink.com'>somelink.com</a><br />
     <?php echo nl2br($text); ?>
     <a href='somelink.com'>Example.com</a><br />

...snip...
</html>

 

...because the nice indentation of the html source code is not preserved, and looks something like...

<html>
...snip...

     <a href='somelink.com'>somelink.com</a><br />
     <a href='example.com'>Example.com</a><br />
<a href='test.com'>Test.com</a>
     <a href='somelink.com'>Example.com</a><br />

...snip...
</html>

 

Here is my question... how do I get every new line created with the nl2br function to also get an indentation in the html source code?

 

Thanks in advance!
