PHP Mail

[paseo]

Is there a way to echo a variable into the Message portion of the mail statement below? For example, if the First name variable is $firstname, is there a way to echo the result of the $firstname variable into the Message Portion of the mail.

Change This

<?php
mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', 'Message');
?>

Into

<?php
mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', '$firstname');
?>

Sure. You could define a message variable and then send that:

$message = "Hello $firstname! How are you doing today?";
[url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php]mail[/url]('[e-mail]', 'Subject', $message);

Also, take a look at these two threads, assuming you are going to have a form ;):

What if i wanted to include 2 variables

mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', $firstname$lastname);

[scriptmasterdel]

Then you would need to seperate them with a full stop.

mail('[e-mail]', 'Subject', $firstname.$lastname);

Same thing. You can include as many variables as you want into the message body:

$message = "Hello $firstname $lastname! How are you doing today? You last visited $last_visited. Is this correct? Your mother's name is $mother and your father's name is $father. And $answer I $answer_grammar stalk people for a living!";
