How can PHP developers ensure that text from a MySQL table is displayed with proper formatting and paragraphs?

To ensure that text from a MySQL table is displayed with proper formatting and paragraphs in PHP, developers can use the nl2br() function to convert newlines to HTML line breaks. This function will preserve the formatting of the text when displaying it on a webpage. 

<?php
// Assuming $text is the variable containing text from MySQL table
$formatted_text = nl2br($text);
echo $formatted_text;
?>
