Line Breaks - Mail \r\n not working

[chrispols]

Hi,
I've been looking all around but can't find exactly how to fix adding line breaks into my automated mail. Can someone tell me what to do to modify this code to get line breaks in.

<?php
$to      = $_POST['Email'];
$subject = 'This is the subject';
$message = 'Hello, this is an automated "\r\n" message <br> new line and text \r more line \r\n and another line';
$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
  'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
  'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

All I ever get is the actual \r \r\n "\r\n" in my mail..

Thanks a lot.

Hi, found the problem.
I had to change
$message = 'Hello, this is an automated "\r\n" message
new line and text \r more line \r\n and another line';
to
$message = "Hello, this is an automated \n\nmessage
new line and text \r more line \r\n and another line";

and it works.. just the double quotes.
Thanks
Chris

The reason for this is because everything between single-quotes is interpreted as a literal string, and not interpolated by php as it would be if it were enclosed in double-quotes.
