I have a script that collects information from a form and sends it to my account. I formatted it with a nice "Thanks for your submission" message. It mostly is all fine, but I noticed today that a strange "! " has shown up in the email. Can anyone tell me why?
Here is the code:
$today=date("d M Y");
$datetext="
Date of submission: $today
";
$contactinfo="Contact information
Contact: $contactname
Institute: $institution
Mailing address: $address
Telephone #: $phone
Fax #: $fax
Email: $email
BII Contact person: $biiperson
BII contact email: $biiemail
";
$projectinfo="Project information
Number of travelers: $numtravel
Duration: $duration
Budget: $budget
Related project: $project
";
$purpose="Purpose: $purpose
";
$itinerary="Itinerary: $itinerary
";
$objectives="Objectives: $objectives
";
$submitinfo="We have received your BII Travel Support Application. Please also complete the http://biistate.net/files/TravelerInformation.doc\">Traveler Information form and send it to travel@biistate.net. Applications are reviewed every month. You will be notified by email of the results of your application.

$project=$datetext.$contactinfo.$projectinfo.$purpose.$itinerary.$objectives.$submitinfo;
echo $project;
mail ("email@email.com","Travel support request", "$project","From: $email\n"."MIME-Version: 1.0\n"."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
This is what the paragraph from the email looks like:
