php fetch file content and print it out formatted

Question

How can i print out an formatted HTML file ? This is my current code:

echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($url));

But the result looks so ugly, all sticks together, no space no tabs. Is there any way to print the file exactly like the original file ?

The pre-tag would work.

<pre>
<?php echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($url)); ?>
</pre>
