PHP mail variables won't display in message

[nojo191]

Hi, I'm using the following PHP to process a form. When I get emailed with the form results, all the variables within "message" don't display (such as 'IP'). Any ideas on how to fix this? I've been working on it for hours with now luck. Thanks!!!

PHP Code:

<?php
$company = $_REQUEST['company'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$phone = $_REQUEST['phone'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subj = $_REQUEST['subj'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;

/* Print IP address */
$ip=@$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// message
$message = '
QTS contact submission
Company $company
Name $name
Phone $phone
Email $email
IP $ip
Message
$comments
';

// Mail it
mail("[I]*email removed for spam prevention*[/I]", "QTS: $subj", $message, "From: $email");
?>

The PHP is accessed with the following HTML form:

          <form method=post action="contact_submit.php">            
            <table border="0" ALIGN="CENTER" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style='font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          <tr align="center" valign="middle">
          <td colspan="2"><em><font size="1">An asterisk <font color="#FF0000">*</font>

          indicates a required field</font></em></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td  align="left">Company Name:</td>
          <td  align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="company" size="35" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          </td>
          </tr>

          <tr>
          <td  align="left"><font COLOR="#FF0000" size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">*</font>Contact
          Name:</td>
          <td  align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="name" size="35" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td  align="left"><font COLOR="#FF0000" size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">*</font>Contact
          Phone Number:</td>

          <td  align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="phone" size="35" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td  align="left"><font COLOR="#FF0000" size="2" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">*</font>&nbsp;Contact
          Email Address:</td>
          <td  align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="email" size="35" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          </td>

          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td  align="left">Topic of Inquiry:</td>
          <td  align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="subj" size="35" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'>
          </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td  align="left" valign="top">Please describe your interest<BR>in our products and services:</td>

          <td  align="left" valign="top"> <textarea name="comments" cols="30" rows="8" wrap="VIRTUAL" style='width: 250px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt;'></textarea>
          </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td colspan=2 align=center> <input class="FormLt1" type="submit" value="Submit Contact Form">
          </td>
          </tr>

          </table>
          </form>

Variables wrapped in single quotations are treated as literal strings.

PHP Code:

$message = '
QTS contact submission
Company $company
Name $name
Phone $phone
Email $email
IP $ip
Message
$comments
'; 


Change the ' and ' to " " and it will process the correct fields. You cannot retain linefeeds this way though, you'll need to manually add \n to the message.
