Hello - new to the group. Hope this is the right place to post this
question.

I have a script as follows. The script is part of an email message send
routine for a credit card charge and is meant to show details of the charge.
It is building a variable, $detail_text, and then using it in a "send email"
routine


Here is what it is supposed to print out on the email -

Charge ID: 18
Billing Period: 02/20/2006 12:00 AM - 02/21/2006 12:00 AM
Date/Time of Charge: 02/21/2006 07:22 AM
Card Charged: **** **** **** 4393
Amount Charged: $0.86



Here is what it prints -

Charge ID: 18
Billing Period: 02/20/2006 12:00 AM - 02/21/2006 12:00 AM Date/Time of
Charge: 02/21/2006 07:22 AM
Card Charged: **** **** **** 4393
Amount Charged: $0.86




Script as it now exists-

//Include the details of the charge
$detail_text = "Charge ID: " . $charge_id;
$detail_text = $detail_text . "\n" . "Billing Period: " . date("m/d/Y
h:i A", $billing_start) . " - " . date("m/d/Y h:i A", $billing_end);
$detail_text = $detail_text . "\n" . "Date/Time of Charge: " .
date("m/d/Y h:i A", $current_time);
$detail_text = $detail_text . "\n" . "Card Charged: **** **** **** " .
$last_four;
$detail_text = $detail_text . "\n" . "Amount Charged: $" .
sprintf("%01.2f", $total);



(for whatever reason, the scrip is building up the variable $detail_text and
then using that buildup variable in the email send routine.) Dont know why
it was set up like this)

Seems like the"\n" should force the break before that Date/Time line but is
doesn't.

What is wrong. Must be a syntax error but darned if I can see it.

Thanks
AK
