Courses Plus Student 394 Pointsinstead of assigning $_POST values to $email_body one by one, cant we just assign them all at once? see the code below
$email_body = "Name: ".$name."<br>"."Email: ".$email."<br>"."Message: ". $message."<br>";
this code has the same HTML output as the script that Randy made in the final of the video. why did randy did so? should i be worried?

The output as you say is the same as Randys, but the only thing to worry about is that "$email_body" is going to be send in to an email and as per your code:
$email_body = "Name: ".$name."<br>"."Email: ".$email."<br>"."Message: ". $message."<br>";
/*
the <br> tag wont be interpreted in a email and the output will be:
the respective values of the variables but all in one line:
Name: $name Email: $email Message: $message
*/
SOLUTION: Use the same code you have the only difference would be
<pre><?php
$email_body = "Name: ".$name."<br>"."Email: ".$email."<br>"."Message: ". $message."<br>";
/*change *< br >* for \n */
$email_body = "Name: ".$name."\n"."Email: ".$email."\n"."Message: ". $message."\n";
?></pre>
HOPE this anwser your question
