I think Rik meant rawurlencode(), which is similar to urlencode() but
converts spaces to %20 instead.
And I was mistaken when I wrote \n should be replaced with $0d. It
should be replaced with %0a. %0d is actually the equivalent of \r,
however I doubt it would make any difference as far as most email
applications are concerned.
Anyway, I think the form method you're looking into is probably the best
way to go, however be aware of the points '427SOHC' made.
I recently set up a simple response form for a friend's website. The
results are written to a database instead of being emailed anywhere.
