Div text won’t show up as it should

I have a problem with my div, when I’m trying to put text inside a div using <?php echo $uin->text; ?> it doesn’t show up like I want it to.

So if it worked it should have looked like this:

    SOME TEXT HERE
    
    
    
    
    SOME TEXT SOME LINES BELOW


MORE TEXT AT THE BOTOM

but for me it always shows up like this

SOME TEXT HERE SOME TEXT SOME LINES BELOW MORE TEXT AT THE BOTOM

Here is the codes I’ve tried:

<style>
.TextAndStuff {
background: url(<?php echo $uin->backgroundimg; ?>);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
}
  </style>
  <div class="TextAndStuff">
  <?php echo $uin->text; ?>
  </div>

So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but if there’s like 3 lines between the top text and the middle text in $uin->text it doesn’t show those line, everything just gets on the same line.

Answer

Like @u_mulder and @ThrowBackDewd said on the top, use nl2br() function.

In your case, it would be like this :

  <div class="TextAndStuff">
  <?php echo nl2br($uin->text); ?>
  </div>
