Paragraphs in mail() emails

[farse]

This is too simple but I can't find the answer. I want to send multiple error messages in separate paragraphs in an email sent with mail(). I want to avoid using html. Here's what I tried as a test to see how to make separate paragraphs:

 

mail('email@address', 'System Error','The error(s) relate to a purchase.nnPlease review the PayPal emails and IPN history to determine the correct status of the artwork./n/nMake whatever corrections to the database are needed.', 'FROM: email@address' );

 

and here's what I get:

 

The error(s) relate to a purchase.nn Please review the PayPal emails and IPN history to determine the correct status of the artwork.nn Make whatever corrections to the database are needed.

 

I'm not even getting a new line, let alone two so it seems inconsistent with the guidance in the Manual.

I also tried rr and rn with no luck.

 

Can I do what I am trying to do?

If you are going to use escape sequences like n, then you need to use double quotes instead of single quotes to surround the string. Most escape sequences do not get converted in single-quoted strings.

Details, details!

 

Thank you. That works nicely.

 

If I could just learn one new thing everyday...
