I know this is an old question but anyway it might help someone   I tend to use PHP EOL for this purposes  due to cross-platform compatibility    echo  line 1  PHP EOL  line 2  PHP EOL    If you re planning to show the result in a browser then you have to use   lt br gt     EDIT  since your exact question is about emails  things are a bit different  For pure text emails see Brendan Bullen s accepted answer  For HTML emails you simply use HTML formatting

When we insert any line break with a programming language the char code for this is   n   php does output that but html can t display that due to htmls line break is    so easy way to do this job is replacing all the   n  with     so the code should be   str replace   n    lt br  gt    str     after adding this code you wont have to use pre tag for all the output oparation   copyed this ans from this website

EDIT  Maybe your class for sending emails has an option for HTML emails and then you can use  lt br   gt   1  Double-quotes   output    Good news  The item   item number  on which you placed a bid of     bid price is now available for purchase at your bid price  nThe seller   bid user is making this offer  n nItem Title    title n nAll the best  n  bid user n email n     If you use double-quotes then  n will work  there will be no newline in browser but see the source code in your browser - the  n characters will be replaced for newlines   2  Single quotes doesn t have the effect as the double-quotes above    output    Good news  The item   item number  on which you placed a bid of     bid price is now available for purchase at your bid price  nThe seller   bid user is making this offer  n nItem Title    title n nAll the best  n  bid user n email n     all characters will be printed as is  even variables    3  Line breaks in HTML   html output    Good news  The item   item number  on which you placed a bid of  lt br   gt    bid price is now available for purchase at your bid price  lt br   gt The seller   bid user is making this offer  lt br   gt  lt br   gt Item Title    title lt br   gt  lt br   gt All the best  lt br   gt   bid user lt br   gt  email lt br   gt       There will be line breaks in your browser and variables will be replaced with their content

Are you building this string using single or double quotes   r and  n only work with double quotes  as well as embedded variables  For example    foo    bar   echo  Hello  n  foo      will output   Hello  n  foo    But    foo    bar   echo  Hello  n  foo      will output   Hello bar

Try  r n in place of  n  The difference between  n and  r n  It should be noted that this is applicable to line returns in emails  For other scenarios  please refer to rokjarc s answer

If you output to html or an html e-mail you will need to use  lt br gt  or  lt br   gt  instead of  n   If it s just a text e-mail  Are you perhaps using   instead of    Although then your values would not be inserted either

if you are outputting the code as html - change  n --   and do echo  message
