Tip of the Week : Carriage Returns in PHP Plain Text Emails
Another quick tip for the archives. Carriage returns on lines in your view finishing with a php statement. Try sending these views as an email and somehow the resulting email does not look entirely correct. The carriage returns have not been passed through.
This is a quick, hackish, tip so I really didn’t get to the bottom of it. Either PHP or Zend mail or possibly savant 3 the templating engine has some error here.
e.g:
Hi eprint($this->sUserName) ?>
Email sent by eprint($this->sSenderName) ?>
The carriage returns here will not be recognised in the plain text email you send, which I was sending using Zend mail. The above is an example of a plaintext template view I was using.
In order to fix this all I needed to ensure was that there is a character at the end of everyline before the carriage return. A space does the trick. As long as your line finished in an ordinary character everything works smoothly.
