read in text file, how to format it

ktpmm5

I've got a web page where I'd like someone other than me to be able to upload a .txt file (with that week's headlines, etc) and display it on the web page. That part works - easy - but how can I format it a little better? Or is there a better way to execute what i want to do? The user has little/no computer experience. Below is code I'm using to read file in -

<?php $file="varsity.txt";
$fp=fopen($file,'r');
$content=fread($fp,filesize($file));
fclose($fp);

//Then, add a to the beginning, and a to the end, and use
//str_replace to replace all char(10) (new lines) with

$content = "".$content."";
$content = str_replace(chr(10),"",$content);

//Then output the variable:

echo $content ;?></div>

i would suggest that rather than have the user upload a text file simply display an HTML form (perhaps a textarea) where they can type or paste whatever they want then store that data in a database when the form is submitted. you can still apply the same formatting to the data when you pull it out of the database.

That makes much more sense - thank you. I made a form where they can choose the page they want to enter the headline and text for, so everything is entered on the same form. For each page, I just want to keep the latest headline for each page in the mysql db. When inserting, should I search for the correct page in the db, then do a replace of the data?
