Keep line breaks

robertaccettura

I currently have the following:

if ($fp = fopen("$maildatfile", 'rb')) {
while (!feof($fp)) {
$maildat .= fread($fp, 1024);
}
fclose($fp);
} else {
fclose($fp);
echo " \$maildat not defined";
}
$finmaildat = addslashes($maildat);

The problem is that addslashes seems to remove the line breaks...

Hence the file that it loads into $maildat is one giant line.

How can I prevent that from happening?

well if you look at the [man]addslashes[/man] man page you'll find that addslashes actually "Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be quoted in database queries " so an enter cannot be on a database field so it must be . I don't know why do you need to add slashes, maybeyou want just to add slashes to the " or ' on the message, anyway please tell why do you need to adslashes.
