Form Data &amp; HTML Emails

Form Data & HTML Emails

Ok, i'm a newbie and i have the html emails working fine... just stumped on whats probably easy syntax.... here's the html part of the php file:

message = '
<html>
<body bgcolor="DE3D20" text="EDA45E" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<table width="449" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3">
	<p>Dear $friendsemail,</p>
      <p>Check the this Media Player.</p>
	  <p> $yourmessage </p>
      <p> $youremail </p></td>
  </tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>';

For the form variables $friendsemail, $yourmessage, $youremail, how do you code these inside the html code that's in this php of mine. I've looked all over this site and couldnt fine anything directly like this and i'm not strong enough on PHP yet.... any help would be great andthis is probably real simple.

Hi,

Assuming they are posted from a form: refer to them as $_POST['friendsemail']:


message = '

<html>
<body bgcolor="DE3D20" text="EDA45E" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<table width="449" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3">
	<p>Dear $_POST['friendsemail'],</p>
      <p>Check the this Media Player.</p>
	  <p> $_POST['yourmessage'] </p>
      <p> $_POST['youremail'] </p></td>
  </tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>';

o yeah.... the data is coming from a form in a Flash movie that is posted to this PHP file.... then the php generates an html email....
