mysqli line breaks

I am no开发者_开发知识库t understanding how to eliminate the returns and new lines that are showing up in my emails that I am using PHPMailer.

I start with mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['message']);

and then I echo this in the HTML body of the email and it returns something like this:

Hi, This is another testrnrnRandy - Done

What do I need to do so that the return new line actually shows up and the rn does not?

Thank you for your help

Don't use mysqli_real_escape_string, but nl2br.

Use mysqli_real_escape_string only to calculate values that are actually going to be used for constructing SQL queries.
