Email, PHP and Variables eeik!!

[flashx]

Hi guys,

 

this is my first post, and im needing some help with email and variables in php.

 

when i save this out it works:

<?php

$test = "hi there";
mail('myemail@mythingy.com.au','test subject', 'This is a test');
?>

 

but as soon as i add variable into the mix it doesnt work...

 

 

<?php

$email = "myemail@mythingy.com.au";

mail($email,'test subject', 'This is a test');
?>

 

 

any clues?

Do you get an error, or do you just not receive the email?

try this

 

mail( '$email' ,'test subject', 'This is a test');

Variables within single quotes aren't parsed.

well thats the only way it works on my computer

Sorry but you're wrong. Perhaps you're using double-quotes?
