Add custom variable to PHP Mail script

Question

 <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['dnevne'] = $dnevne; $email_to = "marioznik@gmail.com"; $name = $_POST["name"]; $email_from = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; $email_subject = "Price is: $dnevne "; $headers = "From: " . $email_from . "\\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: " . $email_from . "\\n"; ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from); $sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, "-f" .$email_from); if ($sent) { header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/thankyou.html"); } else { echo "There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later."; } ?> 

I add few reccomended things, but still i can't get $dnevne variable to my e-mail. Where is my mistake?

Answer 1

You need to learn to use sessions. Put session_start(); at the top of each page where you want to use a session variable.

Then add your $xyz variable to it as follows: $_SESSION['xyz'] = $xzy; Then that variable is accessible anywhere that you're using sessions.

As you define a variable : $dnevna = $nocna + $ukupno on your 1st page, then, I recommand putting this value in a hidden input of the form (so user can't mess with it), then access it through $dnevna = $_POST['dnevna'];

The same thing your are doing with $name = $_POST["name"]; $email_from = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; $name = $_POST["name"]; $email_from = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"];

Then, you use PHP doc -> mail to make your email formatted as you need, include all needed data, and send it to you...

No need to worry about session if you're not using them before...
