Trying to get new line on sms message sent from php script

+1 A:

You are setting the content type as text/html. Try sending a  . HTML is whitespace-agnostic and uses the break tag to force a new line.

If you don't want the message to be HTML, don't mark it as such.

Yes, I've tried the and ( disapears but doesn't add a line break and shows up as > in my message)

@Matt: Try a plain-text email, then.

A:

'\n' will print two characters: \ and n

"\n" will print a line feed character (0x0A)

made sure code had "\r\n" and not '\r\n' as I had in my example. Still no line.Could be my phone.

A:

What @Borealid said, or if you aren't actually sending HTML, which I doubt you would in an SMS, you can change the header to Content-Type: text/plain;

Also, as mentioned, you are giving a literal \n and \r, not an escape sequence. Escaped sequences need to be in double quotes.

Changed it to "" and still no new line. Also changed content type to text/plain. Odd.$body .= "\r\n City:".$City."\r\n";$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";

A:

Just a little bit of code helps the medicine go down. I forgot an important little piece of code:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

You need the code above added to your header. HTH.
