Hey all,
I am just learning php and I am trying to create an email template. Basically what I am going for is I can go to a page, fill out a quote and the info is delivered to the email I put it. The issue is I am wanting it to be laid out in html.
Well I have laid out the ground work for the email temp but I am getting a syntex error. (Line #47 it is the first line that starts the table)
<?php
$email = $_POST ['email'];
$quote = $_POST ['quote'];
$item = $_POST ['item'];
$inventory = $_POST ['inventory'];
$category = $_POST ['category'];
$manu = $_POST ['manu'];
$model = $_POST ['model'];
$condition = $_POST ['condition'];
$dimension = $_POST ['dimension'];
$desc = $_POST ['desc'];
$skidprice = $_POST ['skidprice'];
$unitprice = $_POST ['unitprice'];
$totalprice = $_POST ['totalprice'];
$img1 = $_POST ['img1'];
$img2 = $_POST ['img2'];
$img3 = $_POST ['img3'];
$img4 = $_POST ['img4'];
$img5 = $_POST ['img5'];
// contact to database
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "DATA-USER", "PASSWORD") or die ("Error , check your server connection.");
mysql_select_db("DATA-NAME");
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\\r\
";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\\r\
";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <sales@allfoodequip.com>' . "\\r\
";
$headers .= "Message-ID: <".$now." sales@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">\\r\
";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion()."\\r\
";
$subject = "Your All Food Equip Quote";
$msg =
"
<b> <table width="700" border="0" ></b>
<tr>
<td width="119">Quote #: </td>
<td width="208">$quote</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item:</td>
<td>$item</td>

<tr>

<tr>
<td>Description:</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>Skid Price:</td>
<td>$skidprice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Unit Price:</td>
<td>$unitprice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Total Price:</td>
<td>$totalprice</td>
</tr>
</table>
<b>Images:</b><br>$img1,$img2,$img3,$img4,$img5<br>";
// MAIL SUBJECT
$subject = "Your All Food Equip Quote";
// TO MAIL ADDRESS
$to="$email";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
// Redirect
header("Location: Admin.php?Msg=Sent");
?>
Any suggestions on what needs to be done or an easier way to set up this email temp?
I basically need something like the image below to be sent to clients.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You’re using double quotes inside a string in double quotes. You’ll have to escape those double quotes.
I am searching and I cannot find how to do it, Can you give me an example based off my code?
EDIT: I found it, It needs to be like this for example.
<table width=\“700\” border=\“0\” >
I sure appreciate your time.
You must escape the double quotes inside the string:
$msg =
"
<b> <table width=\\"700\\" border=\\"0\\" ></b>
<tr>
<td width=\\"119\\">Quote #: </td>
<td width=\\"208\\">$quote</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item:</td>
<td>$item</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Inventory:</td>
<td>$inventory</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Category:</td>
<td>$category</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Manufacturer:</td>
<td>$manu</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Model:</td>
<td>$model</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Condition:</td>
<td>$condition</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Dimension:</td>
<td>$dimension</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Description:</td>
<td>$desc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Skid Price:</td>
<td>$skidprice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Unit Price:</td>
<td>$unitprice</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Total Price:</td>
<td>$totalprice</td>
</tr>
</table>
<b>Images:</b><br>$img1,$img2,$img3,$img4,$img5<br>";
I was able to get the syntex errors all out of the way, but now when I send the form, it is not adding the css.

$condition = $_POST ['condition'];
$dimension = $_POST ['dimension'];

$totalprice = $_POST ['totalprice'];
$img1 = $_POST ['img1'];

Any ideas why it wouldnt be calling the css?
If I remember correctly, to avoid these problems in html emails you have to use inline CSS?
