The nl2br Function
The nl2br function inserts a br tag
before the newline character. The newline
character is a special invisible character
that denotes places where the Enter key
was pressed. This character is usually not visible in text
editors, but it exists - it is \n.
Syntax
nl2br(string $string, bool $use_xhtml = true): string
Example
In this example, the function will insert a br tag
before the newline:
<?php
echo nl2br('hello
world');
?>
Code execution result:
'hello<br>
world'
