Hi everyone. I have made a mailing list script but I want to modify it so that I can post some variables in the message box.

I would like something like this.

To display something like this.


I have tried putting

' . $fetch['first'] . '


and

$fetch['first']


in the message box put it just prints out what i have typed.

Please could I get some help because this is really annoying me.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help?

THis isn't a solution, but how about separating your php and html. Mixing them like this makes for messy code. I'd place all data into variables and then echo out the variables in the appropriate place. That should tidy up things.

Can anyone help me with the code please?

Can you explain where your actual problem is? And we can help you out accordingly. Because what you are actually doing there is saying that you want something but we do not know your problem.

I am trying to make an email form where my admins and staff can email multiple users and they can type something like %username% and it will display the username of the user. I have tried $fetch but it just prints that out in the email.
