I have users enter support tickets into a a form and then it emails it to me, I'm trying to get the emails to display when they hit enter correctly, so i'm changing the \r\n to , but in the email i'm getting, its displaying the instead of a line break: here is the code: $message = "<html><head><title>new support request #".mysqli_insert_id($mysqli)."</title></head><body> Hello, ".$_SESSION["full_name"]." has created a new support request. Please log in at . The problem request is \""; $message .= htmlspecialchars(str_replace('\r\n', ' ', $_POST["problem"])); $message .= "\" and the best time to contact is \"".htmlspecialchars($_POST["contact_time"])."\" </body></html>"; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: ".$_SESSION["full_name"]."<".$_SESSION["username"]."@mdah.state.ms.us>" .."\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion(); mail('isstaff@mdah.state.ms.us', $subject, $message, $headers); but the email I get is: Hello, Karen Redhead has created a new support request. Please log in at MDAH Helpdesk <http://intra/helpdesk>. The problem request is "Elaine is out today but her computer no longer has Past Perfect from what I can tell. Also how does she access her email. The Sea Monkey email icon does not take you anywhere. Thanks so much, Karen" and the best time to contact is "1:30 -5:00" How come the email is being displayed with instead of line breaks? --------------010801080401060404090803-- </article> <article> <h2>Re: html email showing instead of line breaks</h2>am 24.09.2009 20:55:42 von Jonathan Tapicer \r\n should be between double quotes: "\r\n" On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 3:52 PM, Adam Williams <awilliam@mdah.state.ms.us> wrote: > I have users enter support tickets into a a <textarea> form and then it > emails it to me, I'm trying to get the emails to display when they hit en= ter > correctly, so i'm changing the \r\n to , but in the email i'm getting= , > its displaying the instead of a line break: =A0here is the code: > > $message =3D "<html><head><title>new support request > #".mysqli_insert_id($mysqli)."</title></head><body> > Hello, ".$_SESSION["full_name"]." has created a =A0new support request. > =A0Please log in at = ..

A bit of a thorny problem because you probably do want to escape HTML-characters in the message for security purposes. I suppose you could call str_replace() after htmlspecialchars(), instead of before it as you currently do. OTOH, why not just send your email as plain text, instead of HTML?
