How can PHP be used to properly format and display HTML content, such as converting new lines to <br> tags?

To properly format and display HTML content in PHP, we can use the nl2br() function to convert new lines in the text to <br> tags. This function replaces all new line characters (\n) with the <br> tag, allowing the text to be displayed with line breaks in HTML. 

&lt;?php
$text = &quot;This is a sample text with\nnew lines.&quot;;
$formatted_text = nl2br($text);
echo $formatted_text;
?&gt;
