Attr assigning syntax

[Rich_B]

can someone tell me if the following is correct syntax for assigning user input to an attribute please

$from = "From: $_POST[visitormail]\r\n";

it forms part of an email layout, hence the text "From: " being included.

Almost, though I tend to prefer:

$this->from = "From: " . $_POST['visitormail'] . "\r\n";

The "almost" is because you probably want to use $this->from instead of $from since you mentioned attribute. Anyway, read the PHP manual on the string type for more information.

thanks..
i realised what id done so ive broke it down a little. assigned the input to attr $from and just used that

"From: $_POST[from]\r\n";
