Note Submitter: dogshxttaco at hotmail dot com ---- I'm going way back in time here, but this is something useful for lots of people new to php. So, replying to steiner277 at charter dot net from two years ago :D This will work: $msg = "The message is:\t" . $_POST['message'] . "\n"; This won't work: $msg = "The message is:\t$_POST['message']\n"; This will work: $msg = "The message is:\t{$_POST['message']}\n"; The superglobal vars are arrays, so like any other array, using them inside double quotes is not the same as using a 'normal' variable. So if you're putting the array var into the double quotes, don't forget your curly braces. :)
