little form help

cdennste

I am passing the text fields to the following code to send an email out. keep getting an error with body_middle part of the code..

Here is the code:

<?php

//Fields required to send:

if ($Name && $Employee && $Serial && $Phone && $Replacement && $Shipping)
{

//Build message:
$body_begin = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Replacement Order Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action=\"send.php\" Method=\"POST\">
<table align=center bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" width=\"600\" border=\"0\">
<td>";

$body_middle = "
echo "Name: ".$POST['Name'];
echo "Employee Number: ".$POST['Employee'];
echo "Serial Number of Card: ".$POST['Serial'];
echo "Phone Number: ".$POST['Phone'];
echo "Reason for Replacement: ".$POST['Replacement'];
echo "Shipping Address: ".$POST['Shipping'];
";

$body_ending = "
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div align=\"center\">
</body>
</html>";
//build email

$build_email = "";
$email_to_dl .= $body_begin;
$email_to_dl .= $body_middle;
$email_to_dl .= $body_ending;

//send message:
$sendtoo = "whoever@whoever.com";
$subject = "Replacement Form";
$headers .= "From: Extranet Communication <whoever@whoever.com>\r\n";
$msg = "$message";

// Check and see if the mail(); function has worked...

if (mail($sendtoo, $subject, $build_email, "From: $email"))
{

// You can also include any other html code here to make your page look more appropriate

print "Thank you, your submission was successfully sent to whoever!<br> Please make sure to inform the customer that it usally takes 3-5 buisness days for the New Card to arrive.";

}
else
{

print "The email has not been sent";

}

}
else
{

print "please fill in all required fields";

}

You cannot nest PHP commands inside other PHP commands like you have done.

Take the echo's out and put just the variables inside the quotes.

The body_middle section should look something like this.

$body_middle = "Name: " . $POST['Name'] . "Employee Number: " . $POST['Employee'] . "Serial Number of Card: " . $POST['Serial'] . "Phone Number: " . $POST['Phone'] . "Reason for Replacement: " . $POST['Replacement'] . "Shipping Address: " . $POST['Shipping'];

This is ugly, but should work.
