PHP e-mail question?
I want to send a multilane email that is generated from variables I collect on another page.
I am using:
$text = 'WEB INFO REQUEST 'BY '.$name . 'PRODUCT: '.$prod. ' ID CODE: '.$id_code.'******** END OF E-MAIL *********';
mail('xxxxxxx@yahoo.com',' WEB INFO REQUEST',$text,"From: $name <$email>");
I want to separate this content on new lines?
Thanks

yeah am agree with Squinky , it is better if you go for phpmailer.sourceforge.net.
I just spotted a problem with ushastry's example - it's using single quotes, so escaped chars won't get interpolated, i.e. \n will not be converted to a newline. Using double quotes, you can also put vars within the string anyway:
$text = "\nWEB INFO REQUEST BY $name\nPRODUCT: $prod\nID CODE: $id_code\n******** END OF E-MAIL *********";
I think that for ugly historical reasons, emails are meant to use CRLF DOS-style line breaks. PHPMailer deals with all that for you though.
$text = "\nWEB INFO REQUEST BY $name\nPRODUCT: $prod\nID CODE: $id_code\n******** END OF E-MAIL *********";
