Table in html mail

renesis

Hi all.
What I wonna do is send a email in html format. I have created some variables and just want to add them within a table. I make use of the mail() function.
My basic idea is to create the body of the mail, e.g

$message = '
<html>
<head>
  <title>TITLE</title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>The message body!</p>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <th>Col1</th><th>Col2</th><th>Col3</th><th>Col4</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>$Variable1</td><td>$Variable2</td><td>$Variable3</td><td>$Variable4</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body>
</html>
';

After that, tha mail() will be like:

mail("$Receiver","Subject","$message","From: $Me$headers");

Note that I have already configured the code so that an html mail will be sent (not text mail).
So, the problem is to enter the variables within html.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can do this:

$message = ' 
<html> 
<head> 
  <title>TITLE</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
  <p>The message body!</p> 
  <table> 
    <tr> 
      <th>Col1</th><th>Col2</th><th>Col3</th><th>Col4</th> 
    </tr> 
    <tr> 
      <td>'. $Variable1 . '</td><td>'.$Variable2.'</td><td>'.$Variable3.'</td><td>'.$Variable4.'</td> 
    </tr> 
  </table> 
</body> 
</html> 
';

There seems to be another problem now. In the code above, when a new row is written, the new record overwites the preveious one. I just want every new record to be added at the bottom of the table without overwriting the last one.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you are tracing element from a database.

Assuming you use a while loop to extract the data from an resultset:

$table_body = ""; // initialize variable as string

$query_result = ....//your query

while($row=... // Your extraction
{
$table_body .='
<tr><td>'. $Variable1 . '</td><td>'.$Variable2.'</td><td>'.$Variable3.'</td><td>'.$Variable4.'</td>
</tr> ';
}

and use table body as the table body in your email table
