Re: php question

if you want the line breaks to show in a browser you need

print nl2br($mail_body);

double quotes expand variables only.

Are you trying to display it using single quotes?  If you are, it will
render it exactly as you see it, without doing the carriage return/page
break.

You should be doing this:

print "$mail_body";
