Insert username into email

[zer0uk]

Hi the below is part my code which generates an email to the user asking them to authenticate, all works fine however I want to add the new user name to the email, one for politeness but more importantly so the user has a email with the login id.

I have been trying to edit my code and insert the value of the variable $var_username within the message but totally no luck figuring it out, any help appreciated.

the bit of code is below 

 

$var_username = $S_POST['username'];
	$message = '<p>Hello</p>' . "$var_username" . '<p>Please click the following link to activate your account : <a href="' . $var_username . $activate_link . '">' . $activate_link . '</a></p>';

Do you actually have an "S_POST" array?

U should use $_POST, try the below code:

$var_username = $_POST['username'];
$message = '<p>Hello</p>' . $var_username . '<p>Please click the following link to activate your account : <a href="' . $var_username . $activate_link . '">' . $activate_link . '</a></p>';

You was right use $_POST .. below works fine 

$message = '<p>Thanks for creating an account your username is - </p>' . $_POST['username'] . '<p>Please click the following link to activate your account : <a href="' . $activate_link . '">' . $activate_link . '</a></p>';

Thank you
