I have a textarea box where Individual names are entered sepearted by Carriage Return. I want the results (on the action page and the email) to come back with names seperated by Carriage Return just as they were entered in the textbox. The emails come back with names seperated by CR but the results page puts the names all on one line with no Carriage return sepeartion. Please advise how I can correct this?
foreach my $field (param) { foreach my $value (param($field)) { $name .= "Names here\:\t$value<br />"; } }
Mail part and results page:
open (MAIL,"|$sendmail"); print MAIL <<"EOF"; To: 'jones@here.com' From: 'smith@here.com' Subject: 'Names' $name EOF close MAIL; print header, <<"EOF"; <HTML> <BODY> $name </BODY> </HTML> EOF
