return in mail form

[nunomira]

i've got a flash mail form which is processed by php
here are the variables which come from flash, and are sent by mail:

for( $i=1; $i<=4; $i++){
	${"var".$i} = $_POST["var$i"];
	${"var".$i} = utf8_decode(${"var".$i});
	${"var".$i} = stripslashes(${"var".$i});
	//${"var".$i} = nl2br(${"var".$i});
}

var4 is the message
when you type the message, you can press <enter> a go to a new line in the text box
the problem is that the newlines aren't displayed in the email
instead of:
one line
another line,
I get
one lineanother line

I tried using nl2br() but I get the br tags:
one line<br />another line

here is the code that sends the email:

$message ="
name: $var1\n
subject: $var3\n
comments: $var4
";

mail($var2,"thank you from nunomira", $message, "From: $from");

those \n which separate the name from the subject work fine...
the problem is with the \n that should exist in $var4...

Maybe try a \r after the fourth variable.

no,
the problem is with $var4
if you fill in the form, and write

one line
another line,

I get

one lineanother line

like I said before.

so $var4="one line\nanother line"

but the newline isn't desplayed in the email

the solution is using str_replace():

${"var".$i} = str_replace("\r","\n",${"var".$i});
