Hello, I'm trying to compose the body of an html email to use with the mail() function. I'm running into problem because I'm not sure how to quote the multi-line body. Here is what I have: $body = "
              echo "Hello, here is your quote from Freight Services.<br /><br />";
              echo "Shipping from: <tab> $origin to $destination<br />";
               echo "<br>";
               echo "Shipping subtotal $" . number_format($subtotal,2);
               echo "<br>";
               echo "<br>";
               echo "Freight charges $" . number_format($freightCharges,2);
               echo "<br>";
               echo "Fuel surcharge $" . number_format($fuelSurcharge,2);
               echo "<br>";
               echo "Pickup and delivery $" . number_format($pickupDelivery,2);
               echo "<br>";
               echo "<br>";
               echo "Miscellaneus costs (e.g. liftgates, etc.) below $" . number_format($miscCost,2);
               echo "<br>";
               echo "<br>";
               if ($liftgatePickup == "50"){
                       echo "Adding liftgate on pickup $50.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($liftgateDelivery == "50"){
                       echo "Adding liftgate on delivery $50.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($spectimeDelivery == "35"){
                       echo "Adding cost of specific-time delivery $35.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($conventionDelivery == "35"){
                       echo "Adding cost of convention delivery $35.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($dreyageWait != 0){
                       echo "Adding cost for wait $" . $dreyageWait;
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($insideDelivery == "25"){
                       echo "Adding cost for inside delivery $25.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               if ($notifyClient == "10"){
                       echo "Adding cost for client notification $10.00";
                       echo "<br>";
               }
               echo "Total cost is $" . number_format($totalcost,2);
               echo "<br /><br />";
               echo "<a href=\"www.foo.net\">foo Services</a>";
              $subject = "Online Freight Quote";
              mail($email, $subject, $body, "From: info@foo.net\r\nReturn-Path: foo@freightservices.net\r\nReply-To: info@foo.net\r\nX-Mailer: PHP 4.x\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");
If anyone could assist me I'd appreciate it very much, Matt
