PHP include a text file whilst keeping carriage returns?

I have a text file that I'm including on my page, however the carriage returns aren't there as they are in the text document. How can I keep them as they are in the text document?

Line breaks have no meaning in normal HTML (other than just being whitespace). You either need to convert them to HTML line breaks using nl2br(), or put the content of the text file in a <pre></pre> block.

$textfile = fopen('file.txt','r');
$readfile = fread($textfile); 
echo nl2br($readfile);
