Re: Sending email from db results

Sending mail is actually quite simple: mail ($email,"Your Lost Password","Here is your lost $username and $password"[, string additional_headers]); If you want use returns in your email body, use \n . The [, string additional_headers] is optional, only needed if you want to specify things like From:, Reply-To:, Cc:, Bcc:, X-anything: and would be used like: ,"From: user@email.dom\nReply-To: user@email.dom" replacing user@email.dom with any email address (they don't have to be the same).

Hello I am writing a send lost password script, that takes the email that a user enters and compares it to the database to see if there is a match and then emails the username and password to the user. I already wrote the comparison stuff and I need to know how to write the mail command, I tried the manual but I am still confused if the strings are $email (the address in the database) and $username and $password what would the mail command look like if it is to say Subject: Your lost password Body of message: Here is your lost $username and $password Thanks in advance.
