[RESOLVED] Using mail() To Send $_SESSION Variables

GoNorthWest

Hi,

I have the following code, which has several $_SESSION variables set it it:


?>
<tr>
<td class="bodyText">

<p>Your order will be placed for : <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Menu_Date']; ?></span></p>
<p>Order for : <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Name']; ?></span></p>
<p>Contact info : <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['E_Mail']; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $_SESSION['Phone_Number']; ?></span></p>
<p>Menu Item
: <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Menu_Item']; ?></span></p>
<p>Number of Servings: <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Servings']; ?></span></p>
<p>Number of Keiki Servings: <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Keiki_Servings']; ?></span></p>
<p>Subtotal: <span class="style9">$<?php echo $_SESSION['subtotal']; ?></span></p>
<p>Tax: <span class="style9">$<?php echo $_SESSION['tax']; ?></span></p>
<p>Total Due at Pick Up: <span class="style9">$<?php echo $_SESSION['total_due']; ?></span></p>
<p>Estimated Pick Up Time: <span class="style9"><?php echo $_SESSION['Pick_up_Time']; ?></span></p>
<form method="post" action="thank_you.php">
<label>
<input type="submit" name="Confirm" id="Confirm" value="Confirm" />
</label>
</form>

When a user hits the "Confirm" button, I would like to send an email with the values of those variables in it. In addition, I would like to have the body be something like this:

Name : <value from $SESSION['Name']>
.
.
.
Total Due : <value from $SESSION['total_due']>

I understand how to use mail() to construct an email, but I don't get how to put this information into the body. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mark

What have you tried? It's as simple as building a string...

$message = "Here is the posted data:

Name: $_SESSION[name]
Address: $_SESSION[address]
etc.";

That did the trick...thanks! I was trying to use an array, but it just wasn't working out. This is much simpler, and does the job equally as well. Thanks!
