Contents of variable not echoing

[jeeves245]

Hey guys, hopefully this is an easy one...

 

In this line, the variables are not echoing out. The script runs without error though.

echo "Name: $name | E-mail: $email | Comments: $comments";

 

So I tried surround them with "" like so:

echo "Name: "$name" | E-mail: "$email" | Comments: "$comments"";

 

I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/vhosts/mputers.co.nz/httpdocs/process.php on line 13

 

Anyone know the correct way to write that line? Variables definitely contain values.

 

Cheers

u need check if the variables are set or not

 

<?php

echo isset($name);

 

?>

Variables definitely contain values.

Are you 100% positive?

 

Try:

echo "Name: " . $name . " | E-mail: " . $email . " | Comments: " . $comments . "";

Try:

echo "Name: " . $name . " | E-mail: " . $email . " | Comments: " . $comments . "";

 

I'm 100% positive.

 

And that line didn't work.

 

I guess I should probably be more specific about the code, as it may make a difference. It's part of code used to send an e-mail.

 

Here are the bits that matter:

 

$body = "Name: $name | E-mail: $email  | Comments: $comments ";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
  echo("sent");
} else {
  echo("failed");
}

 

The rest of the code works just fine, it's just not taking the variables...

This code works for me:

<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$name = "This is the name.";
$email = "This is the email.";
$comments = "This is a comment.";
$subject = "Subject Test";

$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
	'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
	'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

$body = "Name: $name | E-mail: $email  | Comments: $comments ";

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers))
{
	echo("sent");
}
else
{
	echo("failed");
	}
?>

Try the above code on a separate page and see if that works. If that works, then your variables are not being placed.

Ah, I just incorporated my $_POSTs into that and it worked.

 

Thanks, much appreciated
