Some examples:

Code:
str_repeat(' ', 5); // adds 5 spaces


and

Code:
Actually PHP generates HTML output for a web-site. When displaying HTML, the browser collapses all whitespace in text into a single space. Sometimes, between tags, it even collapses whitespace to nothing. In order to persuade the browser to display whitespace, you need to include special tags like &nbsp; or <br/> in your HTML to add non-breaking whitespace or new lines, respectively.



To render more than one whitespace on most web browsers use &nbsp; instead of normal white spaces.


Code:
echo "<p>Hello &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; punt"; // This will render as Hello   Punt (with 4 white spaces)

echo "<p> Hello       punt"; // This will render as Hello punt (with one space)


For showing data in raw format (with exact number of spaces and "enters") use HTML <pre> tag.

Code:
echo "<pre>Hello        punt</pre>"; //Will render exactly as written here (8 white spaces)
