[ciapug] Formatting with line breaks...

[Chris Hettinger]

Hmm, this didn't seem to work either.

        $note =3D "*** Generate from Web Form Submission ***" . chr(13) =
. chr(10)
              . "testing note formatting.";

Still writes a single line.  hrmmm...=20

*still trying*

You're thinking of a different issue, Jerry. That's addressed with the=20
nl2br() function.

He needs to actually insert :
$x =3D "text " . chr(13) . chr(10);

I don't recall that there's a constant for CRLF, like VB's vbCRLF... but =

you could put on in your code, i.e.

$_CRLF =3D chr(13) . chr(10);
