Help - Including "if" statements into email $message

[ghost2012]

How do I include and "if" statement into an email $message.

Example

<?php
$order01 = $_POST["order01"];
$order02 = $_POST["order02"];
$order03 = $_POST["order03"];

if ( $order01 > 0 ) {
    echo " amount of $order01 <br />";
}

if ( $order02 > 0 ) {
    echo " amount of $order02 <br />";
}

if ( $order03 > 0 ) {
    echo " amount of $order03 <br />";
}
?> 

All I'm trying to do is make sure that anyone that orders only receives the information that was selected not unneeded 0's or extra echo commands that print nothing as in
"amount of 0", or "amount of "nothing".

I'm new to this but I thought this would be simple. Including an if state from those above into the $message of an email.

instead of echo, assign the value to a variable, and send that with in the email.

i only want sent what is selected
not "all" the variables
i have ask this question in many forms and it seems no one is smart enough to figure it out and i'm new to this.

that's probably because your question is poorly phrased, but i will try again.

<?php
$order01 = $_POST["order01"];
$order02 = $_POST["order02"];
$order03 = $_POST["order03"];

if ( $order01 > 0 ) {
    $mail_me.= " amount of $order01 <br />";
}

if ( $order02 > 0 ) {
    $mail_me.= " amount of $order02 <br />";
}

if ( $order03 > 0 ) {
    $mail_me.= " amount of $order03 <br />";
}

//your mail function with $mail_me in the body
?>

your doing your self no favours posting this to at least 7 different forums, most have given you the same answer as me. Please try and understand what's been posted before you start on 8+

Dagon sorry but i've tried your code your way and different other ways but to no effect does it work so let me help you out with what does work:

$order01 = &$_POST["order01"];
$order02 = &$_POST["order02"];
$order03 = &$_POST["order03"];  

$aOrder = array();
if ( $order01 > 0 ) {
    $aOrder[] = " amount of $order01";
}

if ( $order02 > 0 ) {
    $aOrder[] = " amount of $order02";
}

if ( $order03 > 0 ) {
    $aOrder[] = " amount of $order03";
} 
$to = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'My Subject';
$additionalHeaders = "From: [e-mail]\r\n";

if (false !== @mail($to, $subject, implode("\n", $aOrder), $additionalHeaders))
{
    print 'Mail Sent';
}
else
{
    print 'Mail not sent via mail command.';
} 

Now this does work so maybe you might want to rephrase your code a little better.
