RE: [PHP] re:linebreak

for the tabs? use Regular Expressions to do all that kind of jobs if you really need it: $multiplier = 4; $text = ereg_replace("\t", str_replace('&nbsp;', $multiplier), $text) Or simply use our good-old <PRE> tag.

In case of displaying \n that are stored in a variable or com from a DB or inptu field you can also use nl2br($var) which automatically converts those linebreaks to <br> and so get displayed correctly. Though that will not work for the tabs.
