[Solved]Emailing form results BUT with some being processed

[ajsuk]

Hey there, I'm having trouble doing what I want to do with emailing some form results.

I know that you can include results as variables with no trouble but the problem comes for me because some of my form results have to be processed with if statements and so on meaning its not always just a direct dump from the form field for example. I'm guessing I need to be using a function or something? I've tried messing with them but I can't seem to get the email message to accept/include anything other than variables and static text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Andy. =)

Any clues to your actual problem would be even more welcome. A bit of code perhaps? or maybe a prediction as to when it will rain next in Paris? anything, anything at all....

Well I would of posted something but its all in my head at the moment.
I havn't really a clue what how to do what I want and so havn't got any examples however I'll throw in what little I think is right...

[code]
function agecheck()
  {
if ($age < 21)
echo $age."(Under age)";
else
echo $age;
  }

$to = "someone@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Here are the results: $firstname $lastname of agecheck() years old...";
$from = "someonelse@hotmail.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
[code][/code][/code]

why not just parse the information before the mail()?

[code=php:0]
if ($age < 21) {
    $age .= ' (Under age)';
}

$to = "someone@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Here are the results: $firstname $lastname of $age years old...";
$from = "someonelse@hotmail.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
[/code]

oh

Well, because that'd be too simple/smart for this poor php noob. ;)

Thanks alot! :)
