Format result text using Passthru of System

Hi,

I tried to use the Passthru and System function to resolve some whois
information.

echo passthru('whois 62.69.168.12') .'<br>';
-or-
$whois = system('whois 62.69.168.12', $retval);

It works fine, but all the result text is at one line. How can i format this
output correctly ??

Regards,


Robertico

As you probably know, carriage returns, tabs and duplicate spaces are
ignored in HTML. You can either enclose your output in <pre></pre> tags or
insert the appropriate HTML tags with nl2br() and str_replace().

Thx,

Thats what i'am looking for. Couldn't find it googling around. Probably the
wrong search terms.

So it's fixed :-))
