Greetings,
I have not been able to find the documentation that will allow me to
insert
php code inside the html code in the $message block in the mail() function.
Using the example in the help file:
<?php
/* recipients */
$to = "va***@email.add" . ", " ; // note the comma
$to .= $_POST["email_address"];
/* subject */
$subject = "CTO for {$_POST["Client_Name"]}";
/* message */
$message ='
<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=7>CTO</FONT></H1>
<HR SIZE=10 color="blue">
<DIV ALIGN=LEFT>
<P><STRONG> Todays Date:"<?php echo $_POST["Date"]; ?>"</STRONG></P>
<HR SIZE=10 color="blue">
</BODY>
</HTML>
';
/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/* additional headers */
$headers .= "To: Department <va***@email.add>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: {$_POST["Sales_Person"]}
<{$_POST["email_address"]}>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: {$_POST["Sales_Person"]} <{$_POST["email_address"]}>\r\n";
/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
The above code displays the first line "CTO", the first HR then "Todays
Date:" and then
just a pair of double quotes. After that, the next HR and that's it.
The e-mail works fine, the script will pick-up the data from the html form
for the addresses.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

thats becouse $message is a string, treat it as such, try this:
$message ='

<H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=7>CTO</FONT></H1>
<HR SIZE=10 color="blue">
<DIV ALIGN=LEFT>
<P><STRONG> Todays Date:{$_POST["Date"]}</STRONG></P>

Greetings,
Mike, I appreciate your reply to my post.
Unfortunately that recommendation did not work. It printed out:
Todays Date: {$_POST["Date"]}.
I tried putting the php script tag in, like this:
Todays Date:<?php {$_POST["Date"]}?>
but that printed out:
Todays Date:
If you or someone else has another suggestion or a place to look
I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you,

Was "Date" set from a form that got POSTed to your page? I was mearly
correcting the error in the string definition, not validity of it.
if you want the date use:
Todays Date:<?php print date("j, n, Y"); ?>

Greetings,
Thanks again Mike for replying.
The data, including the date, is coming from an html form. I'm using the
mail()
script from the php help file:
<?php
/* recipients */
$to = "ma**@example.com" . ", " ; // note the comma
$to .= "ke***@example.com";
/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";
/* message */
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';
/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/* additional headers */
$headers .= "To: Mary <ma**@example.com>, Kelly <ke***@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <bi******@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: bi*************@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: bi***********@example.com\r\n";
/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
with the data from the html form being included in the $message block in
the above script.
I've tried your suggestions and the <script language=php> </script> escape
tags but nothing
works yet.
Thank you,
Ray
If you use 'single quotes' any variable e.g. $var will just display $var a
text string not the value it references. That is why you are getting
{$_POST["Date"]} output as a string. To use variables in a string you should
use "double quotes" as PHP recognises variables inside double quotes. When
you use double-quotes, however, any further use of double-quotes inside your
string must be "escaped" using the \ character. You do not need <?php ?>
here but put the Date in single quotes as the escape character \ does not
seem to work here. Also you appear to need to put the braces in too (I got
this by trial and error mainly and not entirely sure of the whys and
wherefores and there may be other ways of doing it - I am a newcomer to PHP)
Hence your code should read:
$message ="
<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=7>CTO</FONT></H1>
<HR SIZE=10 color=\"blue\">
<DIV ALIGN=LEFT>
<P><STRONG> Todays Date: {$_POST['Date']}</STRONG></P>
<HR SIZE=10 color=\"blue\">
</BODY>
</HTML>
";
Hope that works as I did not have time to test it properly.

Greetings,
Mark, thank you for your reply. That was indeed the problem. I switched
to
the double quotes to enclose the entire $message string and all the data is
appearing
as it should.
Thanks to you and Mike for all your help.

Ah yes,
I tend to get sooooo involved in a piece a code, I tend to miss what is
right there in my face.
