Question

I’m using PHPmailer and everything is perfect except the Texts inside <textarea> are showing as ONE SINGLE LINE. Meaning, no html value (for only TEXTAREA) at all.

• Actually the mail itself is HTML already.
• I can embed Images.. etc as well.
• Just the <textarea> is not working.

I am using this:

$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = $_POST['textarea'];

Lets say the <textarea> contains something like:

Hello,
How are you.

Best Wishes,
4lvin

Then in the email, it is showing just like:

Hello, How are you. Best Wishes, 4lvin

Any idea please? 🙁

Answer 1

use

$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = nl2br($_POST['textarea']);
