[PHP] Newline features and differences between php3 and php4
Morning all, I'm using the mail() function on a project for a client. His hosting provider currently offers php3, meanwhile I've been developing in php4. So far, I don't haven't found any problems other than the following: In php4, inside the mail function I use newline definitions to seperate data, and it works terrific. But in php3 mail() doesn't seem to parse the newline tags, and it prints them in the email body. Workarounds/fixes? Thanks in advance. -- Chris Hall hardwired industries -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The newline tags (\n) are interpreted when the string is parsed, long before anything makes it to the mail() function. Do you have a brief but relevant code snippet? miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
