email layout different in each computer

[nagasea]

$fromDB = (get the text from database table)
ex:
John Doe
123 Street Smart

USA

$fromDB = eval($fromDB)

$pool 		= "
 Email From Website

".$fromDB."
";

mail("[e-mail]", "email coming", "$pool", "From: Me<[e-mail]>");

For some reason the email format sometime looks fine, sometime looks weird (no line break)
different email program , different layout

Sometime looks like this

John Doe123 Street SmartUSA

John Doe
123 Street Smart
USA

John Doe

123 Street Smart

USA

what should I do to get the right format ?
thanks

you are using [man]eval[/man] which leads me to think that there is PHP code with the text string coming from the database? if so that could be introduing addtional linebreaks/formatting.

[nagasea]

yes you right.
so how to remove that linebreak/formating ?

can you show me how to fix that, please....
thanks

if you simply want to strip out all line breaks:

$fromDB = str_replace("\r", '', $fromDB);
$fromDB = str_replace("\n", '', $fromDB);

[nagasea]

problem is, if i strip the line break in $fromDB using that code.
I lost all the line break.

any idea ?

what does $fromDB look like (what is the PHP code that is getting eval'ed)?

[nagasea]

that $a & $b is coming from
<input type=text name=a>
<input type=text name=b>

$a = $_POST[a];
$b = $_POST[b];

$fromDB = "
Your Name         : ".htmlentities($a)."
Your Company Name : ".htmlentities($b)." ";

$fromDB = eval($fromDB);

$fromDB 		= addslashes($fromDB);
$Query 		= 	"INSERT into my_table(data)
				 values
		       	 ('$fromDB')";
$result 		= mysql_query($Query);

$fromDB 		= stripslashes($fromDB);

$fromDB 		= str_replace("\r", '', $fromDB);
$fromDB 		= str_replace("\n", '', $fromDB);

$fromDB 		= "
___________________________________________________________

".$fromDB."
___________________________________________________________

 Thank You
