Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL to Email and Line Breaks
Jeff, I have a form where someone enters the body of an email message into a textarea part of a form to be sent out to a list. Then a script retrieves the body and sends it via email. However I can't get line breaks to show up (I'm using MS Outlook) even if I enter the \n into the textarea form and those \n show up in the database data. I must be missing something. Thanks for any help.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL to Email and Line Breaks
Hiya, If I remember correctly, you much send both \r and \n to terminate a line on an e-mail, regardless of the platform. This should include the header aswell.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL to Email and Line Breaks
How do I get it to do that? I tried replacing \n with \r\n but it's not even finding any \n. This is really puzzling me. If I copy the data from the database field using MySQL-Front and paste it into a word processor it will have the line breaks retained. But what is it in the data that shows these breaks? I can't find any \n in the data. Then when it's sent via email of course there are no line breaks displayed.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL to Email and Line Breaks
Jeff, Is there something about the evaluation of \n in different types of strings, eg single quotes/double quotes? (I don't know the answer)... FWIW I don't like (perhaps, I don't trust) the \r\n type of short-cuts. Herewith some sample code: ... $LinkText= Requested data can be found at: $source . CRLF . CRLF . Run date: $DocDate . CRLF; ... The constants are defined in an Include/Require file: ... define( 'LF', chr( 10 ) ); define( 'CR', chr( 13 ) ); define( 'CRLF', CR.LF ); ... It works for me!

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL to Email and Line Breaks
This isn't what I'm looking for because the output is to email not HTML. What I would like is the natural line breaks in the form input to be preserved and then result in line breaks in the email without having to add any \n, which didn't work anyway.
