Mail Message Formatting

[jmfillman]

I have 2 issues with the script below:

 

1. If I pass in the e-Mail to send the message to, the message doesn't send.

2. How do I structure the message to send both the text and the $Password value?

 

  public function sendPass($eMail, $Password) {

$to = $eMail;

$subject = 'Password Request';

$from = '[email protected]';

$message = 'Your password was requested from our website. Your password is $Password';

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from")) {

echo "Password Sent";

}

else {

echo "Mail Send Failure - Message Not Sent";

}

  }

change:

 

$message = 'Your password was requested from our website. Your password is $Password';

 

to:

 

$message = "Your password was requested from our website. Your password is {$Password}";

Hi there jmfillman,

 

try this:-

 

public function sendPass($eMail, $Password) {

  $subject = "Password Request";

  $headers = "[email protected]";

  $headers .= "content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";

  $message = "Your password was requested from our website. Your password is ".$Password;

  if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {

      echo "Password Sent";

  }

  else {

      echo "Mail Send Failure - Message Not Sent";

  }

  }

 

I always find it easier to use double quotes when constructing a string attached to a var, but its down to preference at the end of the day

 

That should at least get the message going, there are more efficient ways of doing this, but for now, just get the mail going!

 

Cheers,
