Display entire file including spaces

I have several files on my vps and would like to display them on the internet. Without moving these files, I would just like to make a php page that gets the files and displays them.

The file in question looks like this (including spacing):

Player:         Alive: Score: Ping: Member of Team: 
test            No     1      41    test            
player_1开发者_运维问答        No     1      33    player_1       
bug*            Yes    1      37    bug*            
player 4        No     0      37    player 4   

I've tried echo readfile('/path/to/file.txt');and with file_get_contents, however, none of the newlines or spacing are preserved. Here is output with readfile():

Player: Alive: Score: Ping: Member of Team: test No 1 41 test player_1 No 1 33 player_1 bug* Yes 1 37 bug* player 4 No 0 37 player 4 265

Any hints on how to get this to show both spacing/tabs and newlines?

<pre><?=htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($file))?></pre>

Should be enough for you I believe. htmlspecialchars() is important to prevent any HTML-like content from being interpreted as HTML.

Use <pre></pre>. This way the original formatting will be preserved in html.

In an HTML document, newlines and multiple spaces are by default shown as a single space.

Wrap the output in <pre>player: ...</pre> or any other element with the CSS property white-space: pre;. For more information, refer to the CSS standard/.
