Hi there,
I'm trying to make a new line in my email message body, but what used to work in my old procedural PHP script doesnt work in CodeIgniter.
any suggestions? here's my code:
Code:
$message = 'Hey ' . $effecteduser->username . ",\n";
$message .= $user->username . " wants to add you as a contact. You can view their portfolio here:";
$message .= $this->ci->config->item('base_url') . $user->usernameid;
$message .= "\n Click here to decide: " . $this->ci->config->item('base_url') . "dashboard";
$message .= "\nSee you!";
$message .= " \n \n ---------------------------------------------------------------------";
$message .= " \n To control what mail gets sent to you from us you can manage your notifications here: " . $this->ci->config->item('base_url') . "settings/account";
$this->ci->email->message($message);email class new line issues [SOLVED] - El Forum - 09-05-2009

Are you setting your email to be HTML or plain text? In HTML the "\n" wouldn't appear as expected.
