If you look at the source code for the webpage you echo the text to you'll see the linebreaks. But the way html works is to ignore linebreaks in the source, that's why you see it as if it were all on one line. So solve it you need to use the nl2br() function in your php file

PHP's default content type is text/html, but if you're not marking up HTML then just send it as plain text.

// Add this before beginning output.
header('Content-type: text/plain');
