However, variables are not the way to go. The mails are not parsed, so variables won't do you any good. You'll have to use Placeholders. Something like this: $mail_template = "Hi ##firstname## ##lastname##, how are you..."; Now you can continue with str_replace(): $mail_content = str_replace('##firstname##',$fname,$mail_template); $mail_content = str_replace('##lastname##',$lname,$mail_content); regards Wagner -- "Isn't it strange?
