PHP nl2br() basic function

Question

Can somebody please help me with this mail script.

I\'m simply trying to send an html email and part of the message is from a user textarea, which puts in \\r\\n.

Answer 1

$message_var_1 = 'test1 \r\n test2 \r\n test3';

PHP parses \r and \n only within ", not within '. So nl2br won't apply here.

$message_var_1 = "test1 \r\n test2 \r\n test3";
$message = '

     
'.nl2br($message_var_1).'
';

This ought to work.
