Ok so I have a working form that concatenates a bunch of variables together(thanks to digitalosophy and njs12345 for their help) My variable called $message ends up looking like this when I send it
Address: blah blah Name: blah blah Phone: blah blah
How do I put line breaks in between them so it looks like this
Address: blah blah
Name: blah blah
Phone: blah blah
if you need the php file itself, its in this forum under the title php parse error

Syntax,
Thank you but could you please be a little more specific? I am brand new to PHP. What would the formatting look like?
$message = "Name :".$name."\n" ;
is the line I have now. How would I change it?
PS - On a side not, what are the \n tags for?

if the $message variable will be printed on screen with an echo (like echo $message;) in a web page you can use
$message = "Name :".$name."< br>";
use the < br> without the space betwen < and b
the \n adds a line break
