I have a form the user fills out. their name is set to a variable. an email also goes out, how would i make it print the variable in the email?

for instance: dear bob,

I would need to see the mailer part of the form.

I basically need more info on variable that name is assigned too.

$email_body = "

Dear member,

-whoever";
require_once('form.php');
?>

i would need member to be a variable that i have assigned (i.e.: $name) and its value printed.

thanks a lot!

There are a few different ways to do this, depending on the rest of the script.

If the variable $name is already assigned, I think Dear $name, would work but I haven't ever tried that.

If its a nuke installation and they are members you could always pull their name from the db.

global $userinfo; //these globals need to be included
$name = $userinfo['username'];
$content = "$name";

heres a paraphrased version of whats up there, to protect the owner's privacy most of it is changed.

$field_name = array('0' => 'Student Name', ...
$field_html_name = array('0' => 'sname', ...
$email_field = "semail";
$email_name = "Student Name";
$email_subject = "Workshop ";
$email_form_to = "registration@";
$email_form_cc = ".@.com";
$email_form_subject = "Workshop ";
$email_body = "

Dear $email_name,

dfadasga.";
require_once('form.php');
?>

i've tried setting email_name to sname and studen name, but then it just prints Student Name or sname instead of what its set to.

You can try:

Dear <?php echo $email_name ?>,

didnt work

thanks anyway

that code just came up in the mail message.

PM me form.php let me look at it. I am thinking to include the variable it must be in there.

Really you could look and find $email_message add $email_name to it.

theres the problem i was hoping it wouldnt come to,

form.php is encrypted or something, but i'll send it anyway

I will keep this short and sweet, basically what your asking for is impossible due to the encoding of form.php.

This is why, for the name to appear the mailer or form.php has to know to include the variable $name. If you could decode that you would find that $email_body is in there.

There is a simple way to test this theory, change $email_body to $email_bodys and see if the form still works.

Let me know.
