Can I get a multi line input box to display as bullet points in return email?
HI guys I have a form located at
http://www.blueprintcatering.com.au/OnlineCateringRequestTest.php
that has an input box for "FOOD REQUIRED" and "BEVERAGE REQUIRED". Everything is working great, but my client wants the email to return the values in a listed, bullet point style.
I have attached the images of what the input and return look like and also how it needs to look at the end. Also the code for the entire form is there as well.
I am a noob so I'm a bit baffled by it all but I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Thanks for your help,
Leroice

Thanks so much for that - worked perfectly
500 points to you.
Any chance of explaining the syntax at all?? Only if it's no trouble - Just trying to learn it.

worked perfectly
on the textbox, those items appear one per line because there is newline character after each item. So, on the code I gave you I am simply replacing the newline character ("\n") with <li>.
Look up the str_replace() on the php.net site so you understand better what I did.
