I am trying to send mail() but I can't seem to get new lines in my messages. I have tired using ...

\r\n

\n

even

chr(13) . chr(10)

whatever I do, all of my lines end up in one big line.

$var = ereg_replace("\r\n", "<br>", $var);

see ereg-replace for more info

I wouldn't use ereg_replace when str_replace will work here.

$var = str_replace("\r\n", "<br>", $var);

However, if you aren't sending HTML mail, you don't want to replace the newline chars with a break tag anyway.

I use something like this and it works fine.

mail("[e-mail]", "Subject", "Some text \n\n more text","from:[e-mail]");
