Help With Line Breaks

[Globie]

I'm having trouble adding line breaks to the create_account file.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm adding "\n\n and I've tried \n but nothing seems to work:

This is the code:

I'm trying to add a line break after where it says "Sincerely". Also, the line breaks don't show up right on certain email clients. Is there any code you can use that will work for everything??

Thank you.

I changed the line to:

define('EMAIL_GV_CLOSURE','Sincerely,' . "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" . STORE_OWNER . "\nStore Owner\n\n". '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'.HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ."</a>\n\n");

and I have a ton of space between Sincerely and the store owner in both HTML and TEXT format ...

[Globie]

Yup I get that too whenever I put the code.

Do you know how to add a line break or two before "sincerely". No matter how many \n\n\n\n I put, it won't create a line break???? And also after the bullet items.

[DrByte]

Do you get *any* line-breaks at all?

[Ajeh]

I change it to this and get tons of space before and after Sincerely in both HTML and TEXT emails ...

define('EMAIL_GV_CLOSURE',"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" . 'Sincerely,' . "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" . STORE_OWNER . "\nStore Owner\n\n". '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'.HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ."</a>\n\n");

Do a search on the word:
sincerely

in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

How many files are on your server?

Are you editing the right one?

[Globie]

Dr. Byte, I am not getting any at all.

Okay, I will do a search in the Developers Tool Kit and post back.
