PHP break line ".\n" isn't working in email body. Lines are dissapearing

Question

How can i break line after $sender_name and $sender_number? Right now it only shows $sender_name as output but when i remove "\n" they all are together on one line.

    $body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($sender_name."\n\r"));
    $body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($sender_number."\n\r"));
    $body .= chunk_split(base64_encode($sender_message."\n\r"));

Whole PHP code

<?php
if($_POST && isset($_FILES['file']))
{
    $recipient_email    = "mymail@gmail.com"; //recepient
    $from_email         = "mymail2@gmail.com"; //from email using site domain.
    $subject            = "Attachment email from your website!"; //email subject line

    $sender_name = filter_var($_POST["s_name"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender name
    $sender_number = filter_var($_POST["s_number"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender number
    $sender_email = filter_var($_POST["s_email"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture sender email
    $sender_message = filter_var($_POST["s_message"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); //capture message
    $attachments = $_FILES['file'];

    //php validation
    if(strlen($sender_name)<4){
        die('Name is too short or empty');
    }
    if(strlen($sender_number)<4){
        die('Number is too short or empty');
    }
    if (!filter_var($sender_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
      die('Invalid email');
    }

    }

Answer 1

You are base64encoding the line endings aswell

So the actual output would not have \n\r Try this:

$string .= $sender_name."\r\n";
$string .= $sender_number."\r\n";
$string .= $sender_message."\r\n";
$body .= base64_encode(chunk_split($string)); // I think since your transfer encoding is base64, it will not respect the line endings added by the chunk_split not sure tho so be sure to encode it all with base64

EDIT: Given your code:

$body = $sender_name. "\n";
$body = $sender_number. "\n";
$body = $sender_message. "\n";

On each of these lines you are not appending the string but assigning it a new value; use .= instead of assignment operator
