problems with \n in email body text

[VisionsOfCody]

Hi
I've got this code to concatenate my email message with line breaks which is then sent using mail() :

$message = 'Nom : '.$_POST['nom'].'\n';
$message .= 'Prenom : '.$_POST['prenom'].'\n';
$message .= 'Email : '.$_POST['email'].'\n';

but the '\n' doesn't work and the message is all on one line like this

Nom : name\nPrenom : first\nEmail : emailaddy\nText :
message\nSociété : company\n

I've looked at some other threads about this but i don't really understand it
what am i doing wrong?

Hi,

don't use single quotes in this case. Escaping characters doesn't work with single quotes.

$message = 'Nom : '.$_POST['nom']."\n"; 
$message .= 'Prenom : '.$_POST['prenom']."\n"; 
$message .= 'Email : '.$_POST['email']."\n";

that was it

I'd never have guessed that the problem was the quotes

thanks
