line break in a string

[Anon]

I there a way to write a line break as part of a php string? (i.e. not a break that gets sent to the html code, but one that php recognizes as a "break character" within the string). I'm trying to send an email from a form with a few specified line breaks as part of the message body.
something like:

$newmessage = $bodyMsg . [line break] . $additionalText;
mail($emailTo, $subject, $newmessage, "From: $emailFrom");

cheers.

For line break, you could try "\n" without quotes.

For a paragraph break, you will need "\n\n".

\n

dunno, just guessing

Use "\r\n" because some mail servers like qmail complain about \n inthe body.
