textarea field to mail with line breaks

[jimoblak]

I have a form field that when submitted, becomes the message/body of a mail() command. The form field is a 'textarea' with virtual wrap. I am having trouble with getting line breaks to transfer correctly to the email. Sometimes it becomes a single paragraph in the email.

I am also having trouble getting rid of the slashes before an apostrophe. For example: [tt]Diane's car[/tt] becomes [tt]Diane\'s car[/tt].

Can anyone give me a pointer?

According to my documentation, if you are using "wrap=virtual" in a textarea, then the line endings are not returned to the server. If you want the breaks to be transmitted to the server, use "wrap=physical".

Barring that, check out PHP's wordwrap() function (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.wordwrap.php).

PHP's stripslashes() function (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php)

might come in handy for the escaped apostrophes. ______________________________________________________________________
