dee,
Use the string function nl2br($myblahstring)
This converts ordinary linebreaks (newline chars) to html <br> tags on the
fly when displaying text out of a database for instance.
In your example though with straight echos you have to expicitly echo <br>
at end of each blah echo, no matter what browser is used.
