Mail command problem

RunningUtes

PHP is very new to me. I have searched on PHP.org for the answer, but haven't found it so here is the problem.

I have a simple form with the variables Question1, Question2, Question3, Question4, Email, and Question5. In my action.php file from the post I am displaying these values, ("You entered: Question#") and then I want to email the
results to an email address. Because this is a complicated email, I'm using a variable $message. The mail code is something like this:


<?php

$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Feedback</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here were the responces for Feedback</p>
<ol><li>Question 1:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Question1'] ?></em></li>
<li>Question 2:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Question2'] ?></em></li>
<li>Question 3:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Question3'] ?></em></li>
<li>Question 4:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Question4'] ?></em></li>
<ul><li>Email:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Email'] ?></em></li></ul>
<li>Question 5:<br>
<em><?php echo $_POST['Question5'] ?></em></li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>
";



mail("email@email.com", "Feedback", $message);
?>

Any ideas?

Since you're already in php, there's no need to open the tags again, so with your variables, instead of
<?php echo $POST['Question1'] ?></li>
Use
".$POST['Question1']."</li>

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here is the exact code, copied and pasted-- I thought I did the correct tags, but I'm still getting an error Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\docroot\temp\frames\action.php on line xxx
where xxx=<li>I found the following material particularly helpful: .

<?php 

$message = '<html>
<head>
	<title>Handbook Feedback</title>
</head>
<body>
Your responses to the questions were:</p>
<ol type=1 start=1>
<li>I found the following material particularly helpful: <br>
<em>".$_POST['Question1']."</em></p>
</li><li>Include this material in a future Handbook:<br>
<em>".$_POST['Question2']."</em></p>
</li><li>Consider the following resources or people:<br>
<em>".$_POST['Question3']."</em></p>
</li><li>I would be interested in the development of an online community of primary care psychologists or related professionals:<br>
<em>".$_POST['Question4']."</em></p>
</li>
<li>I have a question for the editor:<br>
<em>".$_POST['Question5']."</em></p>
</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>My email address is:<br>
<em>".$_POST['Email']"</em></p>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>';

mail("RunningUtes@Yahoo.com", "Handbook Feedback", $message); ?>

Well, now you're using single quotes to enclose your message. Above you used double quotes. Change the double quotes to single quotes if you're going to do that.
