Simple coding problem, e mail related

[elskan]

Hi People

I am trying to write some code that displays a small message to an e-mail recipient informing them to add a persons record to a database only if they enable a radio button on the html form ('mail_yes_no').

It is a simple if statement but I am unsure of how to define the variable. Can you please help here is the code.

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Web Site Feedback";
$from = "From: {$_POST['user_e_mail']}"; 
$body =     

"Name: {$_POST['username']}\n".
			"E-mail:{$_POST['user_e_mail']}\n".
              "Subject: {$_POST['subject']}\n\n".
			  "Comments: {$_POST['user_comments']}\n".
			  "Add to mail database: {$_POST['mail_yes_no']}\n";

&dbase = '$_POST['mail_yes_no']';			  

if ( &dbase == yes)
			 echo 'Add this person to database';
mail( $to, $subject, $body, $from,);

Thanks in advance.

&dbase = '$_POST['mail_yes_no']';

...should be...

$dbase = '{$_POST['mail_yes_no']}';

if ( &dbase == yes)

...should be...

if ( $dbase == 'yes')

Why are u using an ampersand?. If you want to pass a variable by reference, the syntax is '&$variable'
