PHP echo from database

Hello,

I was wondering how I can echo text from a database exactly as it is in the database. For example, if there are <brs> added in by the enter bar in the textbox and still have it set as physical wrap so when it submits to the database it is exactly the same. However, when I echo the information, everything is put together as one.

How do I echo the exact same way the text is in the database?

Thanks
