E-mail subject - help newbie

[tamarak]

Hello!

I have a contact form on my website. I have a custom email function(below). My problem is - I don't know how to include 'Some text + the submitted form's subject' when sending a confirmation email.

I tried:

@custommail ($POST['submit_by'],"Confirmation Receipt regarding: $POST['subject']",$msg,"[e-mail]");

but it didn't work.

Will you help me please? I've been stuck with it for the last 36 hrs... Thanks!

Tammy

EMAIL FUNCTION:

<?

function custommail($to,$subject,$body,$from="[e-mail]")
{
@require_once ("./phpm/class.phpmailer.php");
@require_once ("./phpm/class.smtp.php");

$mail = new phpmailer();

$mail->From = $from; //$sender
$mail->FromName = $from; //$sender

$mail->IsSMTP(); // set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "localhost";

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress ($to); //receiver

return $mail->Send();
}[

mail() works as follows:

$destination = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Title of the email";
$header = "From: [email][e-mail][/email]";
$message = "The body of the email";

mail($destination,$subject,$message,$header);

Thanks,, but can't I make the

$subject="Title of the email" in this format:

$subject=""Title of the email 1" + "Title of the email 2""

Thanks.🙂

Yes if I understand your question.

$subject="\"Title of the email 1\" + \"Title of the email 2\"";

Thanks Frederick! So does:

mail($destination,"\"$POST['submit_by']\"+\"Some text\"",$message,$header);

makes sense and should work??

[Frederick]

should be

$submit_by = $_POST["submit_by"];
$submit_by .= "+ Some Text";
mail($destination,$submit_by,$message,$header);
