Display form fields in email title

[sphinx]

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to output the form data into the email title, how I've attempted to do this is below:

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   $to = 'message@website.com' ;  
   $subject = '$song - $message - $name;  //THIS BIT HERE I NEED WORKING...
   $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
   $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
   $message = "<table>
               <tr><td>Name</td><td>".$_POST['name']."</td></tr>
               <tr><td>Message</td><td>".$_POST['message']."</td></tr>
               <tr><td>Song</td><td>".$_POST['song']."</td></tr>

               </tr></table>" ;
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
   header('Location: song-requests-success.php');
}
?>

 

I keep getting errors.

 

Many thanks

Variables aren't interpolated within single quoted strings, and the one below is missing a closing quote anyhow.

 

 $subject = '$song - $message - $name;  //THIS BIT HERE I NEED WORKING...

when i quoted it at end, i didnt get an error, but email title was '$song - $message - $name'

Use double quotes.

when i try both:

 

$subject = "$song" - "$message" - "$name";

 

and

 

$subject = "$song - $message - $name";

 

I don't get an error, and the email title is blank just with "-"

Where are those variables defined? I don't see anywhere in the code where they're given values. Are you sure you didn't mean to use $_POST['song'], etc.?
