Formatting text from MySQL database

I am displaying text (several paragraphs) from a memo field in a MySQL database on a PHP page.

When I look at the text in the MySQL table, the text has paragraphs and indents.

When it is displayed on the PHP page, it all runs together with no paragraph breaks or indents.

Is there a way to format this text (or add tags of some sort) in the table (or in the PHP form) so that it displays properly on the PHP page?

I am using Dreamweaver CS3.
