Re: mail function and lots of form fields

For the body what I usually do, if you're planning on just a regular text email, is to make an include file with this type of formatting: $body =" This is the header of the email message Greetings $name, How are you today, you've spent $amount of dollars in the last $days. Thank You! Management"; In other words when you do something like this you can actually see the formatting and all the \n's or \r's will be there. I have found this to bed the easiest way of doing email formatting. I hope it makes sense to you, if not you can always write me back and Ill have another go at explaining it :) Rick > I have a form with around 50 text fields.
