you can use the  lt pre gt  tag to prevent multiple spaces and linebreaks from being collapsed into one  Or you could use  amp nbsp  for a typical space  non-breaking space  and  lt br   gt   or  lt br gt   for line breaks   But don t do  lt br gt  lt br gt  lt br gt  lt br gt  just use a  lt p gt  tag and adjust the margins with CSS    lt p style  margin-top  20px   gt Some copy    lt  p gt    Although  you should define the styles globally  and not inline as I have done in this example   When you are outputting strings from PHP you can use   n  for a new line  and   t  for a tab     lt  php echo  This is one line nThis is another line     gt    Although  flags like  n or  t only work in double quotes     not single wuotes

when you add more space between double quotes or single quotes PHP takes only one white space  so if you want to add more white space between words or strings use tab   t   sequence   echo   t

PHP  typically  generates HTML output for a web-site   When displaying HTML  the browser  typically  collapses all whitespace in text into a single space  Sometimes  between tags  it even collapses whitespace to nothing   In order to persuade the browser to display whitespace  you need to include special tags like  amp nbsp  or  lt br  gt  in your HTML to add non-breaking whitespace or new lines  respectively

To render more than one whitespace on most web browsers use  amp nbsp  instead of normal white spaces  echo  quot  lt p gt Hello  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  punt quot      This will render as Hello   Punt  with 4 white spaces  echo  quot  lt p gt  Hello       punt quot      This will render as Hello punt  with one space   For showing data in raw format  with exact number of spaces and  quot enters quot   use HTML  lt pre gt  tag  echo  quot  lt pre gt Hello        punt lt  pre gt  quot     Will render exactly as written here  8 white spaces   Or you can use some CSS to style current block  not to break text or strip spaces  I don t know  but this one  Any way you do the output will be the same but the browser itself strips double white spaces and renders as one

is this for display purposes  if so you really should consider separating your display form your logic and use style sheets for formatting  being server side php should really allow providing and accepting data   while you could surely use php to do what you are asking I am a very firm believer in keeping display and logic with as much separation as possible  with styles you can do all of your typesetting   give output class wrappers and style accordingly
