Sending out mail newlines

[iceraider]

I need to send out mails to people and I cant get new lines to work. Please look at code.

// Send out mails
function send_mail($mailid,$fromid,$sub,$msg) {


$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

    $headers .= "From: $fromid\r\n";

    $headers .= "Reply-To: $fromid\r\n";

    $mailid=split(",",$mailid);

    for($i=0;$i<count($mailid);$i++)

    {

        mail($mailid[$i], $sub, $msg,$headers);

    }

    return 1;

}

send_mail($dg[5],"[e-mail]","Power Hour Link #$ph Added to Clickin Cash","Your Power Hour Link #$ph, has just been added.

To see the stats on this link please follow the url below:
<a href=\"http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=$ph\" target=\"new\">[url]http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=[/url]$ph</a>

You will get notified once link becomes inactive.

Thank You,
Clickin Cash");

When I recieve email it has no new lines, its like a paragraph??

since this is an html email you're sending, \n won't work. You need to use <br>

see I want everyone too see email so will that lin kwork for eveeryone ?

[cgraz]

The link would work if you were sending a plain-text email, but for some reason you have two a href's in a row.

LOL typ, can u fix that script to make it work for everyone im just so frustrated

[cgraz]

well what i'd do is split the message into variables.

$subject = "bla";
$msg = "bla";
$to = "bla";
$headers = "From: [e-mail]";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

That way it's easier to see what it is you're doing.

Your link is gonna need to look like this:

<a href=\"http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=$ph\" target=\"new\">http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=$ph</a>

but first I'd split it into variables like I suggested above. If you still can't get it fixed, post what you have and I'll help you out. It makes it a lot easier for me to help you that way.

I dont get what you mean, do you think most people now a days can see HTML emails and I shouldnt worry about it.

[cgraz]

yeah. Most people can.

What's the problem you're having?

Try this:

// Send out mails

function send_mail($mailid,$fromid,$sub,$msg) {

	$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
        $headers .= "From: $fromid\r\n";
        $headers .= "Reply-To: $fromid\r\n";

        $mailid=split(",",$mailid);

	for($i=0;$i<count($mailid);$i++)

	{

		mail($mailid[$i], $sub, $msg,$headers);

	}

	return 1;

}

$subject = "Power Hour Link #$ph Added to Clickin Cash";
$fromid = "[e-mail]";

$msg = "Your Power Hour Link #$ph, has just been added.<br /><br />";
$msg .= "To see the stats on this link please follow the url below:<br />";
$msg .= "<a href=\"http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=$ph\" target=\"resource window\">";
$msg .= "http://clickincash.com/adstats.php?do=View%20Stats&id=$ph</a><br /><br />";
$msg .= "You will get notified once link becomes inactive.<br /><br />";
$msg .= "Thankyou,<br />Clickin Cash";

send_mail($dg[5], $fromid, $subject,$msg);

I put your from id, subject and message into a variable to make it a bit neater. Because it's a html email, you need to use <br /> 🙂

Hope That helps,
Matt
