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
enter correctly, so i'm changing the \r\n to <br>, but in the email i'm
getting, its displaying the <br> instead of a line break: here is the code:
$message = "<html><head><title>new support request
#".mysqli_insert_id($mysqli)."</title></head><body><p>
Hello, ".$_SESSION["full_name"]." has created a new support request.
Please log in at <a href=\"http://intra/helpdesk\";>MDAH Helpdesk</a>.
The problem request is \"";
$message .= htmlspecialchars(str_replace('\r\n', '<br>',
$_POST["problem"]));
$message .= "\" and the best time to contact is
\"".htmlspecialchars($_POST["contact_time"])."\" </p></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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', $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.<br>Thanks so much,<br>Karen" and the best time to
contact is "1:30 -5:00"
How come the email is being displayed with <br> instead of line breaks?
