Including variables in a mail template

[gcrighton]

Hi,

My formprocessor script uses the file() function to read the text for an autoresponder email. It reads the text no problem but is not parsing the PHP variables contained in the file. How can I do this if I want to include the user name in the external template?

$mailtext2 = file("mailtext2.php"
$mailtext2 = join("", $mailtext2);
$content_mail2 = $mailtext2;

Thanks in advance,

Gary

you have to use the eval function like this:

$mailtext2 = file("mailtext2.php"
$mailtext2 = join("", $mailtext2);
eval("\$content_mail2 =\"$mailtext2\";"

Note: do not forget the backslashes or the double quotes. Anikin

Hey Anikin,

$mail_en = file("mail_en.php"
$mail_en = join("", $mail_en);
eval("\$content_en =\"$mail_en\";"

Is the bees knees - thanks for your help!
