ETA. How do I stop this post from being so wide?
I've been working on a script. A form mail script. A form mail script that I want to write HTML. And I want it to convert tags like <b></b><i></i> into bolds and italics when tags are entered in textarea. So far, so good. But I would also very much like the form to display line breaks that aren't tagged. Meaning that if someone typed in:
Paragraph1
Paragraph2
It would show up like that and not like it is now, like this
Paragraph1Paragraph2
I've tried just about every placing, every variable I could think of to apply but the breaks still won't show in the e-mail I receive.
The current variable story listed within $inside_mail .= nl2br($story); is one of the form textareas, since I gave up on trying to select it for all fields. But nothing works.
Can someone pleas, please help me?
