How to have line breaks in this text

Hello,

I am going bananas trying to get text breaks and empty lines into this text
which is sent in an email.

I have tried "'s and \n and r\n\ but the text in the email still wraps and also
I see the code in the text.

Can anyone help me please as I have Googled and searched but to no avail.

This is it....

define('UNOTIFY_MESSAGE','Hello, You have requested a Response. Choose a pdf
file and download it. Read it then come back to this site. Use the email
address and password you used to Login into your Account. Thank you for
supporting us and enjoy your day');

----------------------------------
I want it to be like this..

Guesswork - your missing the <?php ?> tags if you can see the code .

\n\n will do the line breaks for you .

<?php

$ewho="webmaster@yourdomain.com";

$datesent=date("l dS of F Y h:i A");

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$subject="FROM THE WEBSITE FORM";

$mailhead="From: $ewho \n";

$mailbody ="This email was sent via the website form" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="DATE: " . "$datesent" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="IP: " . "$ip" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="Full Name: " . "$homer_01" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="Email Address: " . "$homer_02" . "\n\n";
$mailbody .="Contact Number: " . "$homer_03" . "\n\n";

$body .=stripslashes($mailbody);

mail($ewho,$subject,$body,$mailhead);

?>

If you're "testing" it by echoing it out to your browser, \n's simply
won't do... you'd need to htmlify it with <BR />s

Lines in an RFC2822 message are separated by
carriage-return/line-feed pairs. Bear in mind that lines are a
property of the data, not necessarily of the presentation of that data.

\r\n in a double-quoted string _is_ a CRLF pair. (I assume r\n\
was a typo.)

Short of using U+00A0 'NO-BREAK SPACE', the text would normally
wrap in smaller viewports.

Since that string is single-quoted, \n and \r wouldn't be
interpreted. Either double quote the string or jump out of the
single-quotes and concatenate the CRLF pairs.

In you're define statement you can use \n to force linefeeds.
When displaying this in a browser the \n will be ignored so you'll
need to use nl2br() to convert \n to <br />.
