| ohsnyder 04:10:12 | Running out of hair - please help. What is the proper syntax to get a line feed in the resulting email that $strMessage is passed to ? I just can not get it to work ! $strMessage = "Content: ".$_POST["txtfname"]." \\n ".$_POST["txtlname"]." \\n ".$_POST["txtDescription"]." "; The email gets sent fine but everything is all on one line. |

| ohsnyder 04-11-2012 | I had already tried your suggestion but just be sure I tried it again but the email sends fine but there are no LFs CRs in it. All the fields print on the same line. Code is now: $strMessage="Content: ".$_POST["txtfname"]." \n ".$_POST["txtlname"]." \n ".$_POST["txtDescription"]." "; I have tried "\n"and that throws an error. What really puzzles me is there are no syntax errors but the code does NOT produce the desired results. i.e Actual Results = John Doe Description Desired Results: John Doe Description etc ... etc ... Can it be the position of the \n ? I've tried several different placements but keep getting syntax errors. Can it be forced with 'hidden' fields in the table that contain a <br /> or <p /> ? |
| smo1234 04-11-2012 | If you are sending text based email then \n will work , but if you are sending html emails then you have to use line break tag <br>. If you are sending any user data then you can use nl2br function to add line breaks for every carriage return and line breaks added by user. |
