[SOLVED] modifying text

[sniped22]

It's been a while

 

alright, i have a page (index.php) that POSTs data to another page (viewhand.php). Here is an example of what the user would POST to viewhand.php:

 

Game #10117033922:  (5) - 
2007/05/26 - 16:54:47 (ET)
Button
Seat 1: XXXXXXX ($2 in chips) 
Seat 3: XXXXXXX ($16.40 in chips) 
Seat 6: XXXXX($17.75 in chips) 
XXXXX: posts small blind $0.10
Graffin13: posts big blind $0.25
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Graffin13 [7s Tc]
toze2: calls $0.25
cdsaz: calls $0.15
Graffin13: checks 
*** FLOP *** [Td Th 6d]
cdsaz: checks 
Graffin13: checks 
toze2: bets $0.25
cdsaz: folds 
Graffin13: calls $0.25
*** TURN *** [Td Th 6d] [8d]
Graffin13: checks 
toze2: bets $1
Graffin13: raises $0.50 to $1.50 and is all-in
toze2: calls $0.50
*** RIVER *** [Td Th 6d 8d] [5h]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Graffin13: shows [7s Tc] (three of a kind, Tens)
toze2: shows [Ts 9d] (three of a kind, Tens - Nine kicker)
toze2 collected $4.05 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $4.25 | Rake $0.20 
Board [Td Th 6d 8d 5h]
Seat 1: Graffin13 (big blind) showed [7s Tc] and lost with three of a 
kind, Tens
Seat 3: toze2 (button) showed [Ts 9d] and won ($4.05) with three of a 
kind, Tens
Seat 6: cdsaz (small blind) folded on the Flop

 

How can i keep the breaks after each line to be echo'd to the next page?

 

for example, without the line breaks it would become:

Game #10117033922:  (5) - 2007/05/26 - 16:54:47 (ET) Button

 

but i want it to remain:

Game #10117033922:  (5) - 
2007/05/26 - 16:54:47 (ET)
Button

 

Thanks, and if you don't understand what I mean, ill try to clear it up some more.
