email script problem

KashKurcura

Hello:

I have a problem, for some reason the output email will no show line breaks when they hit [enter] in the textarea.. the output seams to stay on one line.. how can i make it so that it will show line breaks?


<?php

if($op == "send") {
   $headers = "From: $from\n";
   mail("$to", $subject, stripslashes($body), $headers);
   echo "<br />Your Email has been sent!\n";
}

   echo "<FORM ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\" METHOD=\"post\">\n";
   echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"send\"></p>\n";
   echo "<P><strong>To:</strong><br />\n";
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"to\" size=30 value=\"$to\"></p>\n";
   echo "<P><strong>From:</strong><br />\n";
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"from\" size=30 value=\"$from\"></p>\n";
   echo "<P><strong>Subject:</strong><br />\n";
   echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"subject\" size=30 value=\"$subject\"></p>\n";
   echo "<P><strong>Body:</strong><br />\n";
   echo "<textarea name=\"body\" cols=50 rows=10 wrap=virtual>$body</textarea>\n";
   echo "<p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Send Email\"></p>\n";
   echo "</form>\n";

?>

nl2br() may help you out...

KashKurcura

nl2br() will only work if your sending a HTML type e-mail.. I want to send a plain text e-mail. Any other suggestions?

k, got it...

wordwrap()

KashKurcura

how would wordwrap() do that? I want it to display a new line every time the person hits [enter] in the textarea. wordwrap() will wrap the string at $number characters.

if you want to go ahead and write out a big script to figure out when someone hits enter, go ahead. but to me wordwrap() seems just a little easier. but whatever.
