Help with emailing information from a form

Recommended Posts

Ok what I am trying to do it make a simple form. Once the user has eneter all the details and clicked submit I want this information to be sent to me in an email.

 

So far I have got the email sending but i am just having trouble getting the information to be displayed correctly in the email that is sent.

 

For the subject I want first name last name <email>.

 

And then for the main message of the email I want the information from the form to displayed something like the following.

 

First  Name : '$fname'

Last Name : '$lname'

 

 

and so on for all the variables i have collected from the online form.

 

Here is what I have got so far and I would appreciate any help you can give me thanks.

I have got it working but i cannot get each individual variable on seperate lines and line breaks dont wotk. How would I do it?

 

I have got at the moment

// Email Message
                    $message = "Name : $title $name. Address : $add1, $add2, $add3, $add4, $postcode. Phone Number : $number. Email : $email. Appointment Time : $time";

 

But I want it displayed like this.

 

Name : $name

Address : $add1

              $add2

 

etc etc

in some cases, you may need to insert the code for a line break, either \n or (for some Windows users) \r\n, like so:

 

$message = "Name : $title $name.\n Address : $add1, $add2, $add3, $add4, $postcode.\n Phone Number : $number.\n Email : $email.\n Appointment Time : $time\n";
