Send email with line breaks using mail() in php

Question

I am trying to send email using mail() in php. I need the message to be formatted or at least allow line breaks.

$mail = mail(WEBMASTER_EMAIL, $subject, $me         


        

Answer 1

because it's \r\n

Answer 2

It's \r\n, as in backslash not forward slash.

Also you can try it like this:

$message = "

Hi!

This is one line.

And this is another.



Bye!
";

Answer 3

you should set the content type of the mail (read: tell php you're sending a html e-mail) http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

it's all explained in Example #5 Sending HTML email.

Answer 4

To format message body you should use \n, as follow:

$message = "Hi!
\nThis is one line.
\nAnd this is another.
\nBye!";

This is formatting your message body.

Answer 5

It's the solution I got after waisting too many time and It's working perfectly.

echo "line 1".PHP_EOL."line 2".PHP_EOL;

If you're planning to show the result in a browser then you have to use "<br>".
