[SOLVED] Line breaks not breaking in email

[psquillace]

Hello All:

 

I have a mail script set up as such:

 

$to = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'Dance with CDA Registration Form';

$body = 'This is a registrant that filled out your form on your website' . '<br><br>';

 

 

$from = '[email protected]';

 

$body .= '<b>Registratnt First Name:</b>' . $_POST["Child_First_Name"] . '<br><br>';

 

$body .= '<b>Registratnt Last Name:</b>' . $_POST["Child_Last_Name"] . '<br><br>';

 

$body .= '<b>Registratnt First Name:</b>' . $_POST["Child_Age"] . '<br><br>';

 

However the email comes as one long line.

 

Is there something I am doing wrong here?

 

thanks for any help or advice,

 

PM

Probably getting sent as html.

 

Change the '

 

'; to '<br />';

 

Or better:

 

$to = '[email protected]';

$from = '[email protected]';

 

$subject = 'Dance with CDA Registration Form';

 

$body = 'This is a registrant that filled out your form on your website<br /><br />';

$body .= "Registrant First Name: {$_POST['Child_First_Name']}<br />";

$body .= "Registrant Last Name: {$_POST['Child_Last_Name']}<br />";

$body .= "Registrant Age: {$_POST['Child_Age']}<br />";

 

you may need to set the content-type if you want it to be plain-text, and if so - change the <br /> to \r\n

Thanks AWPTI

 

it worked with a concatenate on the end and a \r\n\r\n for 2 line breaks.

 

now, how would I bold the titles like

Reg Name:

 

Reg Age

 

 

Inside the ' ' single quotes?

[ohdang888]

'<b> reg name </b>'

 

but only if the user allows html come in from an email.

In order to bold you must use rich-text or HTML-based email.

Oh ok... well I will just leave it and count my blessings that I got this far and got it to work. LOL

 

 

thanks for all your help,
