spacing between email sent with php

[robvr6]

This will be a very simple questionfor the experts Im new to php but I have a form and its sending fine but I need to put a space in btween each line Im presuming the spacing will go between each of the lines below

$body.='Wedding Date: '.$date."\n";
$body.='Time Of Service: '.$time."\n";
$body.='Brides Name: '.$bname."\n";
$body.='Brides Phone: '.$bphone."\n";
$body.='Grooms Name: '.$gname."\n";

Thanks

If by 'space' you mean a blank line between lines in your email, then use two new line characters "\n" instead of one, like so:

$body.='Wedding Date: '.$date."\n\n";

Thats brilliant exactly wht I meant - thanks very much for taking the time to help - one more thing is it easy to print out something like
----------------------------
underneath certain things to separate the form into sections so to speak?

Thanks

Yes, you can just do something like:

$body .= 'Wedding Date' . "\n";
$body .= '-------------' . "\n";
$body .= $date . "\n\n"; 

If you have many fields to format in this way I'd put the code into a function so you don't have to change multiple lines if you want to change the format of the email, such as:

function formatEmailField($field, $value) {
   return $field . "\n"
          . '-------------' . "\n" 
          . $value . "\n\n";
}

If you want the line to be always exactly as long as the text it's under you can use:

function formatEmailField($field, $value)
{ 
   return $field."\n" 
          . str_repeat('-', strlen($field))."\n"  
          . $value."\n\n"; 
}
