Displaying a files contents - with formatting

[sh0wtym3]

I'm using the code below to read, and display a files contents:

        $filename = "style.css";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r+");
// Read the file, and store contents in a variable
$content = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
// Close the connection
fclose($handle);
        // Echo the contents
        echo "$content";

 

However when echoing the contents (its a CSS file), it "squishes" everything together, making it extremely difficult to read.

 

Whereas in the actual style.css file theres formatting (like spaces between each line of CSS) making it easier to read.

 

How do I preserve this formatting?

Figured it out.... use <pre>$content</pre> if you are having similar issues
