How to send sms in proper format using php?

Question

In this code I have am using sms gateway to send message to client. Now, sms sent successfully but format look plain like:

This is a remainder about the title by the 2019-11-11 hello

it look simple I want to show message should be like:

This is a remainder about the title by 2019-11-11 hello Line should be break after about, title, date and message

So How can I do this? Please help me.

Thank You

$message = "This is a reminder about the ".$this->input->post("title")." by the ".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->input->post("date")))." ".strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->input->post("notice")))."";
$requestParams = array(
    'user' => '**********',
    'pass' => '**********',
    'sender' => '*******',
    'phone' => trim(json_encode($student_phone, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK),'[]'),
    'text' => $message,
    'priority' => 'ndnd',
    'stype' => 'normal'
);
$apiUrl = "http://bhashsms.com/api/sendmsg.php?";
foreach($requestParams as $key => $val){
    $apiUrl .= $key.'='.urlencode($val).'&';
}

$apiUrl = rtrim($apiUrl, "&");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$return = json_encode($result);

It's unclear, at least for me, how is the format you want different from the one that's working right now. All I see is that the preposition "the" is missing. — caravana_942

Try with "new line" character \n. Insert it in the string like this:

$message = "This is a reminder about \n the ".$this->input->post("title")."\n by the ".date("Y-m-d", strtotime($this->input->post("date")))."\n".strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->input->post("notice")))."";
