Re: newbie mail() function

Your ''s in your strings are the problem. They need to be escaped, or they will create a parse error. Instead of $msg = "Sender's Full Name:\t$user_name\n"; you should have > $msg = "Sender\'s Full Name:\t$user_name\n"; ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angerer, Chad" <cangerer@ibsys.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 10:36 AM Subject: [PHP] newbie mail() function > Hello! > > I am very new to php programming.
