mail function, new line

tazgalsinh

am doing a referrer script, so users can recommend my site to friend. everything is working except I can't get a new line with the below information. All i need to know is how put each off the following lines on a seperate line, thanks

$tosend = "Referrer:  ";
$tosend .= $cusename;
$tosend .= "Referrer's Email:  ";
$tosend .= $cusemail;
$tosend .= '

Hi,

to insert a newline use \n (UNIX style) or \r\n (DOS style)
Or you could do something like


$tosend = <<< EOTXT
Referrer: $cusename
Referrer's Email: $cusemail
EOTXT;

// or
$tosend = "Referrer:  $cusename\n"; 
$tosend .= "Referrer's Email:  $cusemail\n";

<?php
$tosend = "Referrer:  $cusename\n"; 
$tosend .= "Referrer's Email:  $cusemail\n";
<html>

';

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: webmaster@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; 

$to = $newaddress;
$subject = "Site recommendation";
$message =  $tosend;
$message .= $cusmessage;
$extra = "From: webmaster@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
</form>

If it is a HTML mail try <br> instead of \n.

<BR> DOESN;T WORK EITHER

Hi,

I tried this example and it seems to work:

<?php
$cusename="First Last";
$cusemail="user@domain";
$newaddress="receipient@domain";
$body = <<< EOBODY
<html>
<body>
Referrer: $cusename<br>
Referrer's Email: $cusemail<br>
<p>Our site has been recommended by your friend named above.
If you would like to enjoy the same price saving and pleasures
as your friend please visit our site at <a href="www..co.uk"><a href="http://www.s23.co.uk" target="_blank">www.s23.co.uk</a></a>. Thank you. </p>
</body>
</html>
EOBODY;

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: webmaster@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

$to = $newaddress;
$subject = "Site recommendation";
$extra = "From: webmaster@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

?>

Besides that the link is (<a href...) is invalid, just use one <a href...
