I am pulling text from a database and I want to print out the text and include the line returns so the text is readable and not all compressed into one paragraph.
Is this possible and if so what is the PHP function.
Thank you in advance.

The problem you have is that you get
\nout of the database. Because HTML ignores whitespace, then those\nwill be ignored by your browser.You can use the
nl2brfunction to convert all\nto<br />tags.
