[PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd
I would like to use a form in a html page to pass the variables to a php page, which sends an mail including these variables. All I get in the mail though is a 1 rather than the string that I put into the form??? Can anyone help please! Some code I use . . . $messagepart1 = ' html head titleFree Subscription/title /head body pSomebody would like to have a free subscription!!!/p '; $messagepart2 = (echo $salutation); $messagepart3 = ' /body /html '; $message = $messagepart1.$messagepart2.$messagepart3; . . . mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], Free Subscription Application, $message, $headers); . . . The $salutation comes from the form and is handed over correctly, but the syntax for to display the value of the variable in the html e-mail seems to be the problem... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Echo the $message string as you send it, to make sure it contains what you think it contains. $messagepart2 = (echo $salutation); is probably not what you meant. Try $messagepart2 = $salutation; instead. What additional headers are you sending? BTW, if the email address is coming from the outside world (your text implies that), then your form can be used as part of a DoS attack.

RE: [PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd
What I do is make a PHP page/template with php variables in place. Then do something like this... $report = path/to/mytemp.php; $today = date(); ob_start(); include($report); $message = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); //echo $message; $to = Daevid Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED]; //$to .= , .Daevid Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // note the comma $headers = MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n; //$headers .= Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n; $headers .= Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n; $headers .= From: CRiMson .WEBMASTER.\r\n; //$headers .= Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; //$headers .= Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; //$headers .= Reply-To: .$myname. .$myreplyemail.\r\n; //$headers .= X-Priority: 1\r\n; //$headers .= X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n; $headers .= X-Mailer: CRiMson Server; $subject = my report; // echo $message; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); That's the slick as shit solution. Then PHP will pull in your 'template' page and any variables or whatever are executed in the template $report, plus any that you have in your program (such as $today) are passed in to $message as well...

RE: [PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd
Oh, one more thing that's worthy of note. This method renders a page so you don't have to worry about htaccess protected content and authentication. What do I mean by that? Well, for example, my CRiMson project uses mod_auth_mysql to validate a user and let them in. It protects the entire /crimson/ tree at the apache level. Using the method below, I can use graphics, includes, .css, .js, etc all found in that dir tree in my template email. Then when I send it, the user does NOT have to authenticate/login just to read the email :-) Daevid Vincent http://daevid.com -Original Message- From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 10:55 AM To: 'christian tischler'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd What I do is make a PHP page/template with php variables in place.
