PHP loops inside the body of a PHP/HTML mail

debutant

Hey everyone. I want to use for etc. loops inside the body ($body=' ...'😉 of a PHP mail. It would contain embedded images (taken from databases organized as arrays) etc.. Basically I want to put the following program inside the $body= '...'; but of course it doesn't works.

<form action="group_mail_invitation.php" method="post">
<?
$g_number = 0;

for ($j = 0; $j < $i_max; $j++){

	if ($gid_row[$j][inc_F_max] > 0){

		$g_number++;

		$m_number = 0;

		$gid_G = $gid_row[$j][gid_G];

		$address = $owner[$gid_G][pcmail];
		print $address."<br />";

		$owner[$gid_G][nickname];

		$subject = '';

		$body = '';

<input type="hidden" name="<?echo $g_number?>gowner_nickname" value="<?echo $owner[$gid_G][nickname];?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="<?echo $g_number?>gowner_pcmail" value="<?echo $owner[$gid_G][pcmail];?>" />

<td width="33%" height="170" align="center" valign="top">

What should I do?
Please help, I'm in a hurry.

sid

here are a few hints as to why there were no responses yet:

1.) WHAT does not work?
2.) formatting the code to a somewhat more legible form makes it a lot easier to get responses (see below)
3.) "What should I do? Please help, I'm in a hurry."? people here are doing this on a voluntary basis. we all have other stuff to do as well. (most of us anyways ;-) )
