Re: Joining fixed text to a SUBJECT variable

G'day , Thanks to you both I have muddled through. The actual answer was $Subject = "RVRA Contact Form - ".$_POST['MessageSubject']; I had tried something like that but I used a comma instead of the period. And, yes, I was getting error messages "Undefined variable" on line 6. etc but was too dumb to work out the fix :-( The other bloke talking strine on 'tamouse' has given me plenty to work on. I see you were also talking about spring chickens and autumn turkeys. I reckon I am almost a dodo at 82 :-) Thanks again to you all. Cheers....

The quick fix is simply $Subject = "RVRA Contact Form - ".$MessageSubject; but $Subject = "RVRA Contact Form - ,$MessageSubject"; should work, what is the error? ... you don't actually want the ',' $Subject = "RVRA Contact Form - $MessageSubject"; Should work as well

No it shouldn't, unless you have register_globals turned On. Which most hosts don't (and shouldn't) do. The problem is the simple fact that the variable $MessageSubject is not defined until 4 lines farther into the script. Changing the variable to $_POST['MessageSubject'] (and concatenating using the concatenation operator (the period: '.' )) should fix this for you. If Michael had E_NOTICE errors turned on, he would see an E_NOTICE: "Undefined variable" on line 6. Apparently, he doesn't show E_NOTICEs either.
