PHP SendMail not sending HTML properly, text doesn't go onto next line?!

jarv · August 18, 2011

here are my pages below: the text isn't going onto the next line even if I put text on a new line in my email form?!

Email form:

<form action="send-massemail-script.php" method="post" name="form" onsubmit="return validate()">

						<fieldset> <!-- Set class to "column-left" or "column-right" on fieldsets to divide the form into columns --> 
							<p>
							<label>Customer Name</label>
							<select name="name" id="name">
							<option value="Please select name">Please select name</option>
							<?php 
								while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result3))
									{
										echo '<option value="'.$row1['id'].'">'.$row1['customer_name'].'</option>';
									}
							?>
							</select>
							</p>
							<p>
								<label>Email Title</label>
								<input class="text-input small-input" type="text" id="small-input" name="EmailTitle" /> 										</p>

							<p>
								<label>Email Body</label>
								<textarea rows="15" cols="79" name="EmailBody" id="textarea" class="text-input textarea wysiwyg" style="width: 930px; height: 247px;"></textarea> 																	</p>


							<p>
								<input class="button" type="submit" value="Send Email" />
							</p>

						</fieldset>

						<div class="clear"></div><!-- End .clear -->

					</form>

send_mail page:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function validate(){
var temp
if (document.form.name.value=="Please select name") {
alert("Please select a customer.")
return false
}
return true
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
     print_r($_POST);
include_once("config.php");


$EmailTitle = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['EmailTitle']);
$EmailBody = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['EmailBody']);
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']);
echo $id;

$query5 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM aarbookts_booking_bookings WHERE id = '$id'");
$row5 = mysql_fetch_array($query5);

$customer_name = $row5['customer_name'];

$EmailBody = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'EmailBody', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); 

    $to = $row5['customer_email']; 
    $from_header = "From: info@affordableappliancerepairs.co.uk\r\n";
    $from_header .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($to) . "\r\n"; 
    $from_header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
    $from_header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
    $EmailBody1 = '<html><body>'; 
    $EmailBody1 .= '<p><strong>Dear '.$customer_name.'</strong></p>'; 
    $EmailBody1 .= '<p>'.$EmailBody.'</p>'; 
    $EmailBody1 .= '</body></html>';
    $EmailTitle = 'Subject'; 
    if($EmailBody != "") 
    { 
           //send mail - $subject & $contents come from surfer input 
           mail($to, $EmailTitle, $EmailBody1, $from_header); 
           // redirect back to url visitor came from 
           $msg = "Mass email sent"; 
        header("Location: send-mass-email.php?msg=$msg");  
    } 
      else 
    { 
       print("<HTML><BODY>Error, no comments were submitted!"); 
       print("</BODY></HTML>"); 
    }  

mysql_close($link);
?> </body>
</html>

Your sending the email as html. You will need to use <br /> tags to achieve the effect of a new line.

See nl2br.
