cyberRobot Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The line of code that creates the $email_message variable is missing a concatination character in "... weather: ""\n"; It should be: $email_message .= "In ".clean_string($city) . " in the month of " .clean_string($month).clean_string($year)." you observed the following weather: " . "\n"; Or: $email_message .= "In ".clean_string($city) . " in the month of " .clean_string($month).clean_string($year)." you observed the following weather: \n"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240178-sending-email-with-checkbox-list/#findComment-1233795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
