Problem: Passing Variables to Email $message

alsaffar

Hi there,

I have an HTML Form (not complete):

and a PHP script (not complete):

$to = $HTTP_POST_VARS[joinEmail];
$subject = "Thanx 4 Joining our List";
$message = '
<HTML><CENTER><B>
Thank you for Joining our Mail List with the email: <? echo "$to"; ?>
</HTML>';
$headers = "Wrom: SWZIDREXCAXZOWCONEUQZAAFXISHJEXX

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

When the user hit the submit button in the HTML page, an email is sent to the user, until now everything is fine, but the problem is that the "$to" field is not shown in the email message, I tried to put $HTTP_POST_VARS[joinEmail] instead of $to but nothing works.

Is the problem that I can't use variables in emails?

So, any idea how can I use POST variables in the email's message?

PleasE FeeD ME BacK & HaVe a GooD DaY 😉

try

$to = $HTTP_POST_VARS[joinEmail]; 
$subject = "Thanx 4 Joining our List"; 
$message = ' 
<HTML><CENTER><B> 
Thank you for Joining our Mail List with the email: $to </HTML>'; 
$headers = "Wrom: SWZIDREXCAXZOWCONEUQZAAFXISHJEXX 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

$to = $HTTP_POST_VARS[joinEmail]; 
$subject = "Thanx 4 Joining our List"; 
$message = ' 
<HTML><CENTER><B> 
Thank you for Joining our Mail List with the email: " . $to . " </HTML>'; 
$headers = "Wrom: SWZIDREXCAXZOWCONEUQZAAFXISHJEXX 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

but note, you are not sending an html email so the email will be plain text with visible html. Review this site and phpclasses for a class which will simplify sending an html email. Takes a bit more determination but the end result is well worth it.

Just reverse to what Sarahk wrote. (s)he put wrong type of quotes. No variable parsing in single quotes, and vice versa:

'bla-bla-bla' . $var . 'bla-bla-bla'

"bla-bla-bla $var bla-bla-bla"

And there's nothing that difficult about sending html e-mail, just a line in the header.
