Not a PHP problem, but a HTML problem:
First, HTML compresses white space into just one space, so all of those leading
spaces on line 2 are lost.
Second, you are (probably) displaying using a proportionally-spaced font, so the
narrow pipeline characters take up less width than the letters.
So you need something like:
<?php
$alldata = file("result.txt");
echo "<table><tr><td style='white-space: pre; font-family: monospace;'>";
foreach($alldata as $line_num => $line)
{
echo $line."\n";
}
echo"</td></tr></table>";
?>
