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. > > 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.

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...

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. >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
