在PHP邮件功能的$体系中创建一个新行

Question

I've got the PHP mail(): function working for a form I'm using on my site. I am now trying to format the $body attribute to look nicer and more organized when I receive the subsequent e-mail.

I've tried and I've tried
and both give me

Here's the snippet of the code that I'm working with (I think it's just a matter of syntax that I'm doing wrong):

if(!empty($brandname) && !empty($firstname) && !empty($lastname) && !empty($email) && !empty($goals) && !empty($bio)){
        $to = '[e-mail]';
        $subject = 'Submission Form';
        $body = 'Brand Name: '.$brandname.'<br />Name: '.$firstname.' '.$lastname.'<br />Email: '.$email.'<br />About the Company:'.$bio;
        $headers = 'From: '.$email;

It's just displayed the <br /> as text in the e-mail I receive. It was the same when I used (which I'm assuming is actually the right way to do it). What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

You must place in double quotes " not between single quotes ' If you want that this sequence would be interpreted as a new line (line feed 0x0A) character

Take a look at this php documentation:
