Including PHP script within a PHP Mail() function

sinikorsurf · March 26, 2010

I have a script that I am using to process form data and send a custom email based on the variables sent by the form. I've spent a couple days trying to get this to work with no luck. This is my first post ever to a PHP forum, and I'm anxious to see if someone will be able to help me out with this issue. Here is the code I am using now, but the php script within the email does not seem to work (One other note I'd like to mention is that the Blind Carbon Copy BCC email does not get mailed for some reason if I leave the Carbon Copy CC empty, so feel free to help with that also. THANKS!):

Here's My Bad Code:

<?php

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){

$emailtext .= $key . " = " .$value ."\n\n";

$EmailHeaders = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" . "CC:" . "\r\n" . "BCC:";

}

mail("[email protected]", $_POST[TestNumber], $emailtext . "\n\n" . $req, $EmailHeaders);

//Sends Email To Customer

if ( $_POST[Variable1] == "sendEmail" OR $_POST[Variable2] == "sendEmail" OR $_POST[Variable3] == "sendEmail")

{

$CustTO = "$_POST[customer_name] <$_POST[customer_email]>" ;

$CustCC = "";

$CustCC = "[email protected]";

$CustSubject = "Here is Your Email!";

$CustBody = "

Use the code tags, please.

Untested, but have a try with this

<?php

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
$emailtext .= $key . " = " .$value ."\n\n";
$EmailHeaders = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" . "CC:" . "\r\n" . "BCC:";
}
mail("[email protected]", $_POST[TestNumber], $emailtext . "\n\n" . $req, $EmailHeaders);

//Sends Email To Customer

if ( $_POST['Variable1'] == "sendEmail" OR $_POST['Variable2'] == "sendEmail" OR $_POST['Variable3'] == "sendEmail")

{
$CustTO = "$_POST['customer_name'] <$_POST['customer_email']>" ;
$CustCC = "";
$CustCC = "[email protected]";
$CustSubject = "Here is Your Email!";
$CustBody = "
