I created the following email program from a email function that I know works

When I create a simple form page listed below and submit it. It echos the

variables within the transfering url in the form of a post. It doesn't give me
an error message but I don't get an email? Should the Linux server not be
executing the mail() function?
What the beep!???

RE: [PHP] Help with mail...
It's just part of the rules. Variables are not evaluated when they are between single quotes, they are between double quotes. Echo 'This is $var'; Will output that string, literally. Echo "This is $var"; Will take the value of $var, if any, and place it in the string. ---John Holmes... > -Original Message- > From: Chuck PUP Payne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 11:53 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: PHP General > Subject: Re: [PHP] Help with mail... > > Ok, that work.

Re: [PHP] Help with mail...
strings in double quotes are evaluated looking for $vars and {$vars} to
substitute. strings with in single quotes are not evaluated for vars.
$var = "my favourite color is {$col}"; // works
$var = "my favourite color is $col";// works
$var = 'my favourite color is $col';// doesn't work
$var = 'my favourite color is ' . $col; // works
Same applies to strings within functions:
include('{$dir}/{$file}.inc') // doesn't work
include('$dir/$file.inc') // doesn't work
include($dir.'/'.$file.'.inc') // works
include("{$dir}/{$file}.inc") // works
include("$dir/$file.inc") // probably works
Nothing to do with arrays :)

RE: [PHP] Help with mail...
Variables are not evaluated within single quotes. You are trying to send
an email to $address, literally. If you just have a single variable,
lose the quotes entirely.
Mail($address,$subject,$body);
