[SOLVED] How to display variables in php mail body?

[Thauwa]

Now I have some variables. I want them to be displayed in the body of mail.

 

$emotion = "happy"
$question = "Do you feel happy?"
mail(blah@blah.com, emotions, hello i feel very $emotion today. $question)

 

I want the variables to display as their values in the mail. The code shown above does not work. I just typed it to show what I want. Can anyone help me?

[ILMV]

$email="blah@blah.com";

$subject="emotions";

$body="hello i feel very ".$emotion." today. ".$question;

mail($email, $emotions, $body);

[Thauwa]

what is the var '$emotions' you used in the mail() function?

tks by the way 

[ILMV]

Give this a try:

 

<?php

$to = "your.email@domain.com";
$subject = "Hello!";
$emotion = "Happy";
$question = "Do you feel happy?";
$body = "Hello, I feel ";
$body .= $emotion;
$body .= " today. ";
$body .= $question;
$query = mail($to, $subject, $body);

if($query) {
echo "Emailed successfully.";
}

?>

 

If you upload this, as I did (as query.php), and "Emailed successfully." echoes back, it should've worked.

What exactly doesn't work with it, are you getting an error? It's possible your email providers see it as spam, check your spam folder! Who is your email provider? AOL are extremely hard to please!

careym..i think your code works. let me try it with my system..

mr adam. i tried with my original code, but instead of the var value, i get an emptiness. i also tried echo'ing and print'ing, with no result.
