Passing a variable into an email w/o a form

[RussellC]

I have searched for this all over but I can't seem to find an answer. Is there a way to pass a variable to an email message without using a form.

For example, I want to have the variable $jobnumber to show in the message subject like this:

mail('[e-mail]','Job # $jobnumber is finished.','Message Body.','From: [e-mail]');

Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish this.

Thanks for the help.

It is:

mail('[e-mail]',"Job # $jobnumber is finished.",'Message Body.','From: [e-mail]');

exactly what is sending the email and where is it getting it's info from?

<added>nice andreas :)

If you haven't spotted it (Andreas is being modest again ;)) the difference is the use of double quotes around the Subject entry, needed to parse the variable.

Ahhhh double quotes! Thank you very much Andreas. You are the man.

Your welcome Russell.

If you can tell I´m bit on a high this evening since I finished my exams for this year :) So I´m sitting in front of my computer listening to punk rock really loud and posting strange things. Sadly I have to wait until tomorrow to party.
