To add line breaks in html we have to use tags but to add this line break to any text entry from a form or from a text area we have to use the function nl2br() in PHP. This function nl2br() searches for all the line breaks or carriage returns within a string and replace them with line break tag or tag. This way we can automatically add line breaks for a web page inside a string after break line and use explode function and create array.
