I am following example 4 but I am having trouble displaying ph data in my email, is this possible with this method?

Here is my example code:

Code: Select all

$to = "$email";
$subject = "Example e-mail testing";
 
$body='
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Hello $name - this is a test....</p>    
</body>
</html>';
 
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
 
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
When I receive the email the php data is not displayed, I just see the variable name.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob.

I solved the problem, I had to change the quote to a double quotation as follows:

Code: Select all

$body='
to..

Code: Select all

$body="
Thanks,

Rob.
