PHP Form Mail

[Maverick25r]

The code below is the message part of the email. But when I look at the email, after Contact Form and Email Address, everything is double spaced and shifted to the right.

PHP: Select all

$body = "Contact Form \nName: {$_POST['name']}\n

        Email Address: {$_POST['email']}\n

        Do They Own Land: {$_POST['land']}\n

        What Kind of Plan: {$_POST['plan']}\n

        Their Budget Is: {$_POST['budget']}\n

        Comments: {$_POST['comments']}\n";

If this layout is exactly as in your code then that is exactly what will happen.

PHP is adding the newline/carriage returns and the tabs/spaces of your code to your $body variable.

PHP thinks that everything upto the ';' is part of the line of code.

If you want to write your code like this for clarity, then make each line a php line in its own right and build your $body content as you go. See example code:

Code: Select all

$body = 'first line of code';
$body .= 'second line of code';
...

and so on.

That makes sense.
