Break a string and print line by line

I have a long string as a single line (its too long) and I want it to break and print as a new line whenever we meet a semi colon ; and } or { for example

This is my string: 

aaaaaaaaaaa;bbbbbbbbbb{ccccccccc;dddddddd;}eeeeeee{fffffff;}

I want to print it as below:

aaaaaaaaaaa;
bbbbbbbbbb{
ccccccccc;
dddddddd;
}
eeeeeeee{
fffffffffff;
}

Even if ; and } meet together I wanna break it down and print in two lines.
For example jjjjjjjjjjjjj;} might display as 

jjjjjjjjjjj;
}

Please help me.

You can use like the below code also :

$str = 'aaaaaaaaaaa;bbbbbbbbbb{ccccccccc;dddddddd;}eeeeeee{fffffff;}';
$arr_replace_char = array(';','{','}');
$arr_replace_by = array(';<br>','{<br>','}<br>');
echo str_replace($arr_replace_char,$arr_replace_by,$str);

You can use preg_replace(/([;\{\}])/, '$1<br/>', $sourceLine) for HTML output. If outputing to file, change '$1<br/>' to "$1\r\n"

You can simply use preg_replace as

$str = 'aaaaaaaaaaa;bbbbbbbbbb{ccccccccc;dddddddd;}eeeeeee{fffffff;}';
$res = preg_replace('/(;|{|})/',"$1\n",$str);
print_r($res);

Output :

aaaaaaaaaaa;
bbbbbbbbbb{
ccccccccc;
dddddddd;
}
eeeeeeee{
fffffffffff;
}
