Hey guys!
Im new to php and trying to add a little modification to this code. The code currently sends an email to someone via a website. The subject,from email,to email and message are all entered in forms.
What I want to add is a bit of code that adds to the email message "This is a fake email etc etc" before the actual message. I hope that makes sense :thumbsup:

<?php
if(@isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// require fields...look at the hidden field to change what's required
$required_fields = explode(",", $_POST['required']);

$error = 0;

foreach($required_fields as $fieldname) {
if ($_POST[$fieldname] == "") {
$error++;
}
}

if ($error == 0) {
if (strstr($_POST['to'], "@") and strstr($_POST['to'], ".")) {
if (strstr($_POST['from'], "@") and strstr($_POST['from'], ".")) {
// headers to be included in email
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
// html header (delete the following row if you do not want html to show)
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
// from header
$headers .= "From: $_POST[name] <$_POST[from]>";
// mail function
mail("$_POST[to]" , "$_POST[subject]", $_POST[message], $headers);

// success message
// if you receive a php error, make sure your server is set up to send email
print "Your email has been sent to $_POST[to] from $_POST[from]";
exit;

}
} else {
$errormessage = "The email address you entered does not appear to be valid. ";
}

} else {
$errormessage = "You have left some required fields in the form blank. Please fill in the form completely. ";
}
}
?>

Thanks for any helps guys. Also, sorry I came here to ask a question before actually contributing. Hopefully I can do that in the future :thumbsup:

Later!

You simply need to append whatever string you want to include in the email to the string that is currently used in the subject.

So make a string (use "\n" to put a newline in there):

//string to add to email subject (with two newlines)
$myMessage = "This is such a fake email.\n\n"

And then append this new string to the existing string, using the period character ".":

mail("$_POST[to]" , "$_POST[subject]", $myMessage.$_POST[message], $headers);
