$line6 = str_replace(";", "\n", $line6);

If you're talking about HTML line breaks,  just substitute <br /> for \n.

Where is this jumbling that you're talking about, in your HTML display? 
HTML browsers don't recognize line-break escape characters. Yes, you would 
need <br /> if you want it to display in HTML. As far as the browser's 
concerned, there's no difference between HTML served cold and HTML 
generated by PHP.
