Question

I have a textarea that someone can put code in. When someone clicks “Submit” it will create a txt file, and then re-display it somewhere else. But since it’s code, I really need to keep the tabs and lines exactly the same. Using PHP, how would I go about that?

Answer 1

My guess would be that you are dumping the code to a web page. You might want to wrap the code dump in <pre>...</pre> tags.

Observe:

<pre>
<?php echo $code ?>
</pre>
