I am trying to use phpMailer and everthing works fine except the variables won't send. It shows $thevariable not the value.

 

Does anyone know anything about phpMailer?

 

 

<?php
session_start();

$mail             = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"

$body             = $mail->getFile('orderSendEmail2.php');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->From       = "[email protected]";
$mail->FromName   = "Me";

$mail->Subject    = "Report";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAddress($_SESSION['email'], "Anthony"); // IT ISN"T PICKIN UP THIS SESSION EITHER

$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif");             // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "<pre>". print_r($_SESSION,true) ."</pre>";  //// I ADDED THIS JUST TO SEE IF THE SESSION WERE THERE AND THEY ARE
}

?>

 

 

 

orderSendEmail2.php:

<?php
session_start();

include 'orderSessions.php'; /// THIS PAGE TRANSLATES THE SESSIONS INTO VARIABLES AND WORKS FINE
?>

<style>
#orderTitle{
font-weight:bold;

The email is formatted perfectly everything looks great but instead of mailing the values of the $vars it mails "$vars"

 

Please help if you can.

I should mention I have tried:

 

<? echo $thevariable; ?>  in the place of $thevariable in orderSendEmail2.php.

 

It shows up blank in the email, but at least it doesn't show $thevariable.

 

I will keep reading the manual until someone here can help.
