Hi All,

 

I'm wishing to know if the <br/> can be used in PHP....??

 

heres the line i want to know about

 

$msg = "Email: ".$useraddr." *can a line break go hear* Phone Number: ".$phonenum." *and hear* Message: ".$comments." * and hear* Name: ".$username;

$headers = "From: $useraddr \r\n";

mail($to, $re, $msg, $headers);

echo("<h1 class=\"hd\">Message Sent</h1>Thank you $username for your request,

we will be in touch shortly."); }

 

 

if so what should i use???

Yes, it can be used in php. But you should echo it like this:

 

<php

echo "<br />";

?>

Cheers

So basically it would look like :-

 

$msg = "Email: ".$useraddr." echo "<br />"; Phone Number: ".$phonenum."

 

 

is that right??

$msg = "Email: ".$useraddr." echo "<br />"; Phone Number: ".$phonenum."

Correct.

Nope that don't work

 

echo "<br />";

 

it's causing a syntax error....

$msg = "Email: ".$useraddr." echo "<br />"; Phone Number: ".$phonenum."

Nope... Sorry that's wrong:

 

It's just:

 

$msg = "Email: ".$useraddr."<br /> Phone Number: ".$phonenum."

 

In PHP plain text (i.e. "Email" ) and html tags can be combined in strings and once you print the variable you've stored it in ($msg) the browser will parse the html.

this is the line that goes to the email and I basically want to do a line break between each one so when the email comes through it looks like this:

 

Name: Customer Name

 

Email: domain@domain.com

 

Tel: 0987654321

 

Message: The customer message....

 

As a pose to what it does now:

 

Name: Customer Name Phone Number: 07500045825 Message: This is a test email Email: domain@domain.com

 

Here's the actualy line of code:

$msg = "Name: ".$username."  Phone Number: ".$phonenum."  Message: ".$comments." Email: ".$useraddr;

Hi is this what your after no <br> needed

 

$messagesent=("you have recived a message from $name

Email {$email}

Tel {$tel}

Phone back at {$callback}

Message {$message}");

 

the recived email will have the breaks already added and each field will be on it own line

Thanks will give that a try....

Just what I was after cheers

For future reference, you shouldn't use <br /> in emails. It's better to use \n

\n and \r

 

there are two different types of line breaks I think the ascii for a caridge return is around 32 and a hard return 34 (i think)

 

and the equiv in php is \n and for a hard return \n\r
