system() and line breaks...

[nokicky]

Hey guys,
I'm running some batch files using system('batch.bat')
Works great but on echoing the output like this:

$output = system($scriptPath);
echo $output;

I obviously just get one long line of text. Looking at the source shows there are line break but not html compliant ones..
So my question is, how do you insert <br /> tags into a block of text? Thanks!

I suggest using exec(), and format the returned array however you wish.

exec($scriptPath, $output);

print_r($output);

Awesome, thanks for the help, it's all working now!

Went with this:

exec($scriptPath,$output);
foreach($output as $out){
	echo $out;
	echo "<br />";
}
