Mail formatting

Anon

I made an order form that has 3 different variables for each row:
<tr>
<td>SupplyNum</td>
<td>Price</td>
<td>Quantity</td>
</tr>

(Quantity is a text field where they enter the number of items they want. The other 2 are fixed values for each row)

I send the values of each cell for every selected to the next page, which loops through to get all the values, then stores them all in a variable called $emailInfo.

$emailInfo .= "Quantity:".$thisQuantity."SupplyNumber:".$thisNum."Price:".$thisPrice;

My problem is the output of $emailInfo. I want to make it look nice in the email:

Quantity: 4
Supply Num: 3
Price: $40

But the only way I can get all the values to appear, I have to slur it all together with no spaces.

I tried putting \n in the variable but this didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,Scott

try
$emailInfo .= "Quantity: " . $thisQuantity . "\nSupplyNumber:" . $thisNum."\nPrice: " . $thisPrice . "\n";

the slash n puts in a new line. slash t puts in a tab but I haven't found that useful.

I've got a similar problem where I want

Name: Jo Bloggs
Addr: 21 High St
. Somewhere else
And I've had to put a fullstop at the beginning of the lines with no "label" to get the spacing right.

I've found the class for html mail so need to investigate that so I can atleast use tables.

Thanks. I tried the \n as you indicated and it only gives the first row of the variable:
Quantity:4

I don't know why that is.
