I have a contact form script and when the user submits it, they get an email and I get one. But there’s a problem with the “message” textarea in the HTML email. It puts it all in one line.
See how I type it out:
And then in the email sent to me (HTML) its all in one line:
As you can see it is all in one line. How can I get it to not be in this line?
This is my code:
<?php
// load the variables form address bar
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$from = $_POST["from"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$verif_box = $_POST["verif_box"];
// remove the backslashes that normally appear when entering " or '
$message = stripslashes($message);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$from = stripslashes($from);
$name = stripslashes($name);
$emailContent = "Hello Nathan,
".$name." is trying to contact WeeBuild Support. Here's what they submitted:

Note: $emailContent is the email that goes to me and $emailContents is the email that goes to the user.
I tried using the str_replace() and that just caused parsing problems and I could not get that to work. I’m sure I wasn’t using it right.
Can someone help me with this? Any help is highly appreciated.
