Sending form email

Sep 20th, 2004

I have created an online gift certificate order from.
I have an html to allow user to create order,
and two php pages to:

1) display order back to browser window,and
2) send email with order info to restaurant owner and myself
and redirect to thanks.htm page.

I cannot get the order details to display in the e-mail message.
This happens despite my coding the quantity variables as
{$_POST['totalqty']} and {$_POST['totalamount']} .

Anyway, can anyone help me?
Here is my code...

THANKS!

<?php
if ($_POST['radio_group_1'] == 'A')
{
$mail_msg = "
Porters Restuarant Gift Certificate Order Form\n
Customer has ordered $_POST['twofiveqty']} gift certificates for ${$_POST['totalamount']}. \n

";

/*
$mail_msg = "Porters Restuarant Gift Certificate Order Form\n\n";
$mail_msg .= "Customer has ordered {$_POST['twofiveqty']} gift certificates for ${$_POST['totalamount']}.\n\n";
*/

$name = "Tom Fitzsimmons";
$email = "t4632@erieinsurance.com";
$subject = "Porter's Gift Certificate Order";
mail( "cookies@micro-link.net,psutom@micro-link.net", $subject,
$mail_msg, "From: $name <$email>" );
header( "Location: http://www.portersrestaurant.net/thanks.htm" );
}
