carriage returns in email content

[Anon]

In building a string for the content variable I need to be able to insert carraige returns. For instance:

$Content = $Name;
$Content = "\n" . $Address;

The email arrives with content:

BillHeffnerStreet

I need it to read:

BillHeffner
Street

How can I do that?

What you have should work (probably does in other email clients), but if it doesn't, try changing the \n to a \r\n. That is what most email clients are expecting.

Thanks for your reply, but I have tried the following with no success:

$Content = $Name;
$Content = "\n" . $Address;
$Content = "\n\r" . $Address;
$Content = "\r\n" . $Address;

I know it can be done with a Perl cgi script, since the form handler in service now does produce the results I'm trying to match.

Perhaps it can't be done in PHP? That would be a shame, because I really would like to migrate to PHP for my scripting.

Oh my. I was doing this:

$Content = "\n\r" . $Content . $NextVar;

instead of:

$Content = $Content ."\n\r" . $NextVar;

Thanks for not trashing my idiocy.

This should work as well:

$Content = "\n\r $Content\n\r $NextVar\n\r $AnotherVar";

cheers,
