variables in e-mail 2nd
I would like to use a form in a html page to pass the variables to a php
page, which sends an mail including these variables. All I get in the mail though is a 1 rather than the string that I put into the form??? Can anyone help please! Some code I use.... .. .. .. $messagepart1 = ' <html> <head> <title>Free Subscription</title> </head> <body> <p>Somebody would like to have a free subscription!!!</p> '; $messagepart2 = (echo $salutation); $messagepart3 = ' </body> </html> '; $message = $messagepart1.$messagepart2.$messagepart3; .. .. .. mail(me@me.com, "Free Subscription Application", $message, $headers); .. .. .. The $salutation comes from the form and is handed over correctly, but the syntax for to display the value of the variable in the html e-mail seems to be the problem... |

Missing quotes around the email address.
Echo the $message string as you send it, to make sure it contains what you think it contains. $messagepart2 = (echo $salutation); is probably not what you meant. Try $messagepart2 = $salutation; instead. What additional headers are you sending? BTW, if the email address is coming from the outside world (your text implies that), then your form can be used as part of a DoS attack. |

What I do is make a PHP page/template with php variables in place.
Then do something like this... $report = "path/to/mytemp.php"; $today = date(); ob_start(); include($report); $message = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); //echo $message; $to = "Daevid Vincent <daevid@daevid.com>"; //$to .= ", "."Daevid Vincent <daevid@daevid.com>"; // note the comma $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; //$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "From: CRiMson <".WEBMASTER.">\r\n"; //$headers .= "Cc: sales@example.com\r\n"; //$headers .= "Bcc: president@example.com\r\n"; //$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." <".$myreplyemail.">\r\n"; //$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; //$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: CRiMson Server"; $subject = "my report"; // echo $message; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); That's the slick as shit solution. Then PHP will pull in your 'template' page and any variables or whatever are executed in the template $report, plus any that you have in your program (such as $today) are passed in to $message as well...

Oh, one more thing that's worthy of note. This method "renders" a page so
you don't have to worry about htaccess protected content and authentication. What do I mean by that? Well, for example, my CRiMson project uses mod_auth_mysql to validate a user and let them in. It protects the entire /crimson/ tree at the apache level. Using the method below, I can use graphics, includes, .css, .js, etc all found in that dir tree in my template email. Then when I send it, the user does NOT have to authenticate/login just to read the email :-) Daevid Vincent http://daevid.com |
