Carriage return in unicode

rolwong

Hi all,

I have written some codes to send out email through PHP. The code looks like:

$body = "Dear Peter,\r\n\r\nI am happy to ";

When email is sent, everything looks good.
But when the PHP document is changed to utf-8 and then save again. The email contents are all in one line. Seems "\r\n\r\n" does not function.

Can anyone tell me why carriage return or newline don't function in unicode environment. How to solve this?

Thanks.

They should: any valid ASCII character is by definition a valid UTF-8 character. That goes for control characters like chr(13) and chr(10).

Thanks for your reply.

I have changed the code to:

$body = "Dear Peter,chr(10)chr(13)I am happy to ";

Again, this doesn't work. The message of the email is still written in one single line.

I said it should work, I didn't say to go changing stuff. Are you saying that if you don't save the PHP file as UTF-8 the email is sent with line breaks? How are you sending the email?

What's more, the character set that's used to save the file shouldn't affect PHP's interpretation of "\r\n".

How about what happens if you use literal linebreaks in the source?

$body = "Dear Peter,
I am happy to ";
