Adding date to contact form

[Historical Forums User]

Im trying to add the date to the top of an email confirmation.

// prepare email body text

$Body = "";

$Body .= $Name;

$Body .= "n";

$Body .= 'I am delighted you contacted me via our website bla bla bla. ';

Here is my best try…

// prepare email body text

$Body = "";

$Body .= ;

$Body .= $Name;

$Body .= "n";

$Body .= 'I am delighted you contacted me via our website. ';

Thanks,

You’re concatenating your message via your $Body variable, so it is rending in the message…. So, printing out the date isn’t going to work. You’ll need to create a date variable and append it in your message.

ie:

$date = date('Ymd'); // or whatever format you'd like



$Body = "blah...blahn";

$Body .= "The date is: ".$date."n";

//etc, etc...

Seems that broke it without error message. See anyhting strange?

$EmailFrom = "TESTTHANK";

$Subject = "Thank You";

$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST));

$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST));

$date = date('Ymd');



$Body = "";

$Body .= "The date is: ".$date."n";

$Body .= $Name . ",";

$Body .= "n";

$Body .= '

I am delighted you contacted me via our website.

What’s happening that’s indicating that something is broke? Are you not receiving the email? If so, can you post more code. Also, for the sake of consistency I would use lowercase trim() since that’s how it appears in the manual…
