oni-kun Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 You'll need to use regex or str_replace to create newlines after each tag.. such as.. replacing '<head>' with '<head><br/>\n'.

.josh Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 where is the string coming from? If you are hardcoding it like that, simply add \n after each tag (not <br/> : because you are using htmlspecialchars, it will just echo out the literal <br/>).

___ROCK___ Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Can you guys show me a small example of what you mean on the above answers. Maybe I'm not doing it right. <?php $my_str = htmlspecialchars('<html> <head> </head </html>' ); echo $my_str; ?> how can I format that above code to look like this. <html> <title> </title> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172446-solved-formating-html-with-htmlspecialchars/#findComment-909377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

___ROCK___ Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Our childish behavior has set me off track for a bit. Now back to the main topic, I did not mention that I wanted see the formatted text. :'( Therefore what you have posted is correct, but i need to go one step further which is display the formatted code. So if i wanted to say "u r rite oh great one". i would like to have it displayed like this. <html> <title> The Grate One</title> <body> <p> You Are Right, Oh Great One! </p></body> </html> Thanks for all the php help, and for helping me relieve myself.
