How do I remove the double-spacing in the email body text?

[blastbum]

Hi,

 

I'm a noobie and having massive issues with a PHP script that sends an email to a user. The email is in plain text, yet the text is in double-spacing which is very frustrating. I have included the code below for you to examine. If anyone could help me to get the text back to single spacing that would be great.

 

<?php
$to  = $email;

$subject = 'Client Registration - XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX';

$message = 'Dear '.$first_name.'

We recently sent you an email to announce our new website with
particular reference to your financial and classing data statements.

Our website has information about the XXXX XXXXX, our contact details,
including our regional Agents, market and price information, along
with your personal financial documents such as Recipient Created Tax
Invoices and Classing Data.

By providing this information on-line, you will be able to access your
personal information relating to business with XXXX more efficiently.
However, if you would like to receive your statements via an
alternative method, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

This email is to confirm that you now have access to the grower
section of our new website.

Your details are:
Your Email: '.$email.'
Your Username: '.$username.'
Your Password: '.$password.'

Please keep these details safe as they provide direct access to your
personal information.

If you have any questions or issues accessing our site or your
information, please contact me directly.

Thank you for your business and we hope we can continue our commercial
relationship going forward.

Yours Sincerely,


XXXXXXXX XXXXX / Director XXXX XXXXXXXX

Tel: +61 2 XXXX XXXX | Mobile: +61 XXX XXX XXX | Fax: +61 2 XXXX XXXX
Email: xxxxxxxx Web: xxxxxxxxxx
';


$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: XXXX Xxxxxxxxxx <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
if (@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
$_SESSION['msg'] .= 'Email Sent to the new client.';
}
else {
$_SESSION['msg'] .= 'Email Failed.';
}	
?>

 

 

And this is how the text of the email turns out:

If you could help me out here and show me how I can remove the double-spacing I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Many thanks,

place your message in double quotes and try placing a "\r" on the end of each line

A simple

$message = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $message);

should be enough.

Hi,

 

It did appear to be working, but I have discovered another issue. The email formatting works fine being sent to my POP mail account, but the line breaks are not happening when the email is sent to my IMAP account. I believe this issue can be resolved if I put HTML into the mail via the PHP script. Can you please tell me how to insert HTML into the PHP script so the HTML appears in the email that is being sent?

 

Thank you once again for your help. It is invaluable.

 

Dan

Change the Content-type to "text/html" (keep the charset) and put HTML in your $message.
