PHP and HTML Email

nalleyp23

Can anyone tell me how to output a PHP variable into an HTML Email inside the mail() function?

Thank you!

There's really nothing special just try using "this is ".$var." something text" or even "this is $var something text"

And search the forums for "html email". If you like you can restrict the search to post titles and still get 37 hits.

And have a look in the code library where there is some code that can help.

_e_r_k

// the reciever
$to = 'email@domain.com';
// the subject of the mail
$subject = 'A test-mail';

// the variable
$var = "My name is Bond, James Bond.";
// the message
$msg = "<html>\r\n<body>\r\n";
$msg .= "A famous sentence:<br/>".$var."\r\n";
$msg .= "</body>\r\n</html>\r\n";

// the email headers
$headers = "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
$headers .= "From: [email]email@other-domain.com[/email]\r\n";

// send the email
if( @mail($to,$subject,$msg,$headers) )
	echo 'Email was sent!';
