Carriage Return from textarea not in email

Is there a way for the email to contain the carriage returns used when adding data in a text area rather than returning the data inline?

you need to know the name of the text area, and use the nl2br() function which converts carriage returns to <br> tags. if the name of the text area is "message", add the following code to line 1 of your page:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['message'] && $_POST['message'] != "") {

    $_POST['message'] = nl2br($_POST['message']);

}

?>

Thanks Jason

I get a warning in Dreamweaver that there is a Syntax error in the code that you have supplied

sorry, correct code is:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['message']) && $_POST['message'] != "") {

    $_POST['message'] = nl2br($_POST['message']);

}

?>

Perfect!

Thanks :)

Ive just tried using this again, but no message is included in the email.

The code created by DW is;

<?php echo ((isset($_POST["message"]))?$_POST["message"]:"")?>

however the code previously doesn't work.

Any ideas?

try changing:
<?php echo ((isset($_POST["message"]))?$_POST["message"]:"")?>


to:
<?php echo ((isset($_POST["message"]))?nl2br($_POST["message"]):"")?>
