You didn't ask a question. All you did was post some code.

What is the problem? Where is the problem in your code? What have you tried to do to fix it? What are the events that cause the problem to occur?

I'm not really sure why you've specified a variable (incorrectly) for a new line in some places and used the proper newline / carriage return characters in others.

You're also echoing your message headers to the screen and not actually putting them in a mail function.

There's a couple of problems to get you going, fairly sure there'll be more but I just had a quick scan through and theyre the things that leapt out at me.

Could you correct those, test and then provide a little more detail as to the problem you're getting as just posting some code with no further explanation doesn't give would-be helpers much info.

sorry guys ... my message somehow got deleted...

I'm having trouble getting my php variables to show up in the table that I'm trying to email using mail(). I've done alot of research on the web but no good clues. Any suggestions

p.s. newLine=< > but doesn't show up in my post as it's html as well

My bad, I think I misread a bit of the way your code works...teach me to scan too quickly...I'll have a deeper look (with a bit more care)

not a problem lessthanthree :-)

Seems to be a real challenge or it just can't be done.

Just want my php vars to show up in the table i send via mail() ... sounds easy enough huh ?

*Bump

my vars show up as (for example) $txtDate ... instead of the date that was sent

I just figured out to properly post my code. Here it is...

Change all of your vars in the email from <?php echo $varname; ?> to ' . $varname . ':

[code]Customer Information 
Ban: <?php echo $txtBanNum; ?>
txtWirelessNum <?php echo $txtWirelessNum; ?> 
txtCustomerName <?php echo $txtCustomerName; ?>[/code]

should be:

[code]Customer Information 
Ban: ' . $txtBanNum . '
txtWirelessNum ' . $txtWirelessNum . ' 
txtCustomerName ' . $txtCustomerName . '[/code]

You are a champion and a scholar sir ! That worked just fine.
I was down to one hair left on my head.

THANK YOU !
