How to keep new lines when outputting posts retrieved from Facebook using the Graph API?

Say fo开发者_StackOverflowr example the original post on facebook is as follows:

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow

The array returned from the graph api will have the following data:

    [message] => Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow

So there are newlines within the returned array data but when I am echoing the data out I simply get Stack Overflow Stack Overflow Stack Overflow

Is there a straightforward way to keep the original structure of the post?

All I am doing to echo it is:

  echo "<div class=\"post\">".$user_feed['data'][$i]['message']."</div>\n";

Thanks,

  echo "<div class=\"post\">".nl2br($user_feed['data'][$i]['message'])."</div>\n";

have you tried wrapping it in a

<pre>

tag (i.e. preformated). Or you could replace new lines with line-breaks
