Inserting <br /> in HTML email

I'm trying to send an HTML email (which works, btw), but whenever the message has a newline by presenting ENTER on the keyboard, the email doesn't show it. Instead it just displays it in 1 whole line. How do I add the <br /> everytime the user presses ENTER on their message?

 

use nl2br() function. Look in the PHP manual on how to use it!

 

hmmm.... may be just try the <br> (with out the /)tag .. older html tag... may work...
else, you can try the <pre> tag .... it will definitely solve your problem....
Hope it helps....

ciao!!

 

It worked! Thanks!

 

Btw, is it possible for me to change the the name which comes out in the "from" field?

 

You mean "ABC XYZ <abc@xyz.com>"
Look up the mail() function in the php manual. Yes, you can do it.

 

Using \n instead of <br /> might work too

 

Simply wrapping the text in <pre></pre> which stands for "pre-formatted text" works much better.

<pre>
This
is
the
contents
</pre>

Code (markup):

 

If you want to change the name in the to/from field, simply use e.g. "from: Your name <your@email.com>"
