what I am looking to do is to create a new line at each space,

I have tried the following but it still outputs with just spaces.

When displaying in a browser multiple spaces/tabs/newlines are 
all rendered as 1 space.  If you want the _display_ to treat 
spaces as newlines use the html line break:
$file = Str_replace(" ", <br />", $file);
or keep what you have and use

$file = nl2br($file)
