<pre> tags with readfile()

[zimbabweo]

I can't figure out how to combine readfile() with <pre> tags so that the \n linebreaks in my text file are displayed properly.

 

// works but doesn't print line breaks
echo readfile("filename.txt");

 

// doesn't work -- parse error

echo "<pre>readfile("filename.txt")</pre>";

 

// doesn't work -- parse error
echo "<pre>{readfile("filename.txt")}</pre>\n";

 

Any tips to solve this?

[Barand]

echo '<pre>';
readfile('filename.txt');
echo '</pre>';
 

 

or

 

echo nl2br(file_get_contents('filename.txt'));
