[FX.php List] Sending carriage returns within a string into FM field

[Bob Patin]

Well, merchandise and taxexempt aren't variables, they're text strings...

So

$merchandise = "merchandise";
$taxexempt = "taxexempt";
$string = $merchandise."\r\n".$taxexempt;

is the same as

$string = "merchandise\r\ntaxexempt";

... and he was right! I was pretty sure that I'd used \r\n in the past, and the difference was the double-quotes. 

I used this: "merchandise\r\ntaxexempt"

and it worked perfectly.

Thanks guys,
