Displaying .txt files and maintainint their format using php

[davemcc]

Hello I am looking for some more experienced help here!

 

I wish to display .txt files within a php page. I have found out how to do this but any formatting such as paragraphs and tabs is lost.

 

Can anyone help me with how to display the txt file as it is, formatting included?

 

It is simply so we can update our Community Centre website with ease via txt files.

 

Hope someone can help

 

Cheers

Just typed this into the editor so there might be bugs - thats basically it though.

 

$lines = file("yourfile.txt");

echo '<pre>';

foreach($lines as $line)
  echo str_replace("<", "<", $line)."\n";

echo '</pre>';

That works great! Many thanks!

 

The only thing i am having a prob with is when its formatted with css the font cannot be changed. all other formatting seems ok!

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks again
