Website queries - web form layout problem...

Hi all,

Until recently emails coming from my webform to my phone came through nicely structured:

FROM:
Email:
Phone:

Message:

But until recently - it changed and they come through a bit messy:


nFROM:Email: : 0207xxxnnMessage:nmsg

Any idea how i can put it back please?

Many thanks

    The n is almost certainly because a \n or newline character has been corrupted somehow - possibly by doubling iup on the \ to \\n

    Without seeing the code it's impossible to know for sure what the cause is.

    Would need to see the '?contact' handler to work out why this is happening.

    Could be a problem with your host 000webhost. Unfortunately this is a problem when using free hosting accounts.

    Thanks Steve - I'd not spotted it was hosted with them. Got to be brutally honest, to say that it is a bit gypsyish to host a business website there is a mild understatement. I've also noticed the OP has been here before asking for help fixing parts of his website. I appreciate that this is a money saving website and everyone likes to help their fellow man out, but sometimes it goes to far. I'm sure the OP is not giving away free accommodation and food :-)

    OP - ask you hosting provider what they have changed and fix the back end script accordingly.

    Although I don't hold out much hope!

    On a separate note, you should change the copyright date at the bottom of your site or at least make it 2008 - 2011.

    Thanks guys... well...
    1st of all - i am helping someon out on here - its a small family run business and i dont see a problem hosting it on a free service.. if you think otherwise - your opinion.
    i have reposted as the 1st post contained other problems and wanted to start fresh.
    it worked in the beginning with 000 hence my question - was advised to upload via FTP rather than a website upload and it helped but then i did something else and it broke again...
    so as i said - i am helping someone out with this site - and the owner does actually do a lot for others for free - e.g free weekends for people who need a gateaway place - eg. people who lost loved ones and people struggling with life... hope thats ok wit u?
    plus i do a lot to help other ppl without anything in return - i dont need anyone to question it... thanks for your help anyway
