Question

I am currently working on a newsletter system in PHP. I can send quickly a lot of email messages to the different customers.

Well, I wondered how I can add [tags] in a textarea. I would instance the tag [name] add to my message and it is intended that each email message the name equals the name of the recipient.

Does anyone perhaps an idea how this is done?

The question is kinda wiiiide, I’m not really sure what the problem is, but this would do the trick. Obviously there is a lot of different things you can do, but start from here and work your way up.

function getMyNewsletter($tags){
    $newsletter = "Hello {$tags['name']}, I hope you liked your {$tags['whattheybought']}. please buy more of my stuff!";
    return $newsletter;
}

$tags = $user->getTagsFromSomewhere();
$mailbody = getMyNewsletter($tags);
yourMailer("SubjectGoesHere",$mailbody,$OtherOptions);
