[PHP] strings and \n

[Greg Sidelinger]

Ok I'm having a problem with the new line char \n in strings.  I'm
trying to contrast an email that gets sent with the mail() function.
Here is what I'm doing.
 
$message = "line1\n";
$message .= "line2\n\n";
$message .= "line3\n";
...
$message = "lne99";
 
mail ("email", "subject", $message);
 
 
but when the email is received not all the new lines r taken. Can anyone
help me.  Also where can I get a list of all the special chars like \n
and what they meain.
