PHP sending email problem
Hi all. I am attempting to use php to send an email that contains SESSION
variables provided by user forms. In the body of the email, I want to use
conditional code. So, for example, if Address2 was provided, show it in the
body of the email. If Address2 was not provided, don't show it in the email.
So here's the simplified version of my final form handler code (all session
variables have already been set and are working properly): ---------------
<?php //start the session session_start(); $date = date(' l F j, Y ');
$email1 = 'formrecipient@somewhere.com'; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n';
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n'; $headers .=
'From: $email\r\n'; $message1 = ' if ($_SESSION[address2]) { echo
\'$_SESSION[address2]<br>\' ; }'; mail('$email1', 'Web Site Sign-Up',
$message1, $headers); ?> <!--END PHP CODE--> <!--BEGIN ACTUAL PAGE CODE-->
<html> <body> <h2>Thank you for your message.</h2> <p>We will contact you
soon.</p> </body> </html> --------------- So I am having trouble with the
$message1 variable which becomes the body of the recipients email. I want
conditional code within the $message1 variable, but I'm stumped as to how to do
it! I'm assuming it has something to do with the double quotes, but that's as
far as I've made it! Please any help! Thanks, dlc

Since you're building your message as $message1, create it like this:> In the body of the email, I want to use

$message1 = $_SESSION['address1']."\n";
if (isset($_SESSION['address2'])) {
$message1 .= $_SESSION['address2']."\n";
}
and so on.
Your mistake was to use echo. You don't want to display the message in a
browser, but add it to the value of $message1.

Ah, I see. So basically we just build a string of text as we go correct? Makes sense to me.
Thanks for the feedback you've helped me a lot!

One other question David: I'd like to use a label in the email as well,
something like Address 1 = [Address1 variable] Email = [email variable] so
that what the email recipient sees is well formatted and understandable.
Suggestions?

$message1 = 'Address 1 = '.$_SESSION['Address1']."\n";
if (isset($_SESSION['Address2'])) {
$message1 .= 'Address 2 = '.$_SESSION['Address2']."\n";
}
$message1 .= 'Comments = '.$_SESSION['Comments']."\n";
You just build everything into one long string. It can be as long as you
like, mail() will still send it.
