As I said above, I've also tried using "\n\n" instead of "\r\n\r\n".
Can anyone give me some advive on how to get the linebreak characters
interpreted as linebreaks?
Use double quotes around the parts that have \r and \n characters if you
want them to be interpreted.
Ah, damn you Jasper, I should have noticed that myself.
Don't you hate it when you've been staring at code too long to notice
the obvious?
Thank you!
Much warmth,
Murray

RE: [PHP] Line breaks in mail function?
Hi Murray,
Try doing something like this:
---
$body = "From: $name
Email: $email
IP Address: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
Feedback:
$feedback
";
$fromaddr = "$email
Reply-To: $email
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Feedback", $body, $fromaddr);
---
I haven't tested this 'actual' piece of code, but I've used similar in other
emailing scripts.
Regards,
Richie !
