  • 0

I am getting data through Second Life to a PHP script and the PHP script is sending the data through an email.

My question is how to get the time (which is the variable $time) into the subject line of the email. Right now, it is just ignoring the variable $time.

Here is that part of my code:

$time = $_POST["time"];
$log = $_POST["log"];

$to = "OSU@gmail.com";
$subject =  <<<TEST
New Visitor; VDC2; $time
TEST;

$theMes =  <<<TEST
Visitor Log for VDC2:
$log
TEST;

$headers = 'From: TecEdgeDL@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
'Message-Id: TecEdgeDL@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: TecEdgeDL@gmail.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $theMes, $headers);

    Why don’t you write the $subject variable like this instead?

    $subject = "New Visitor; VDC2; " . $time;

    And while you’re at it, write $theMes like this:

    $theMes = "Visitor Log for VDC2:" . "\n\n" . 
   $log;

    If that doesn’t work try encoding the content. I still don’t know why it wouldn’t display but this might be worth a shot since mail does encode.

    $subject = "New Visitor; VDC2; " . $time;
$subject = '=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=';

    There could be something with the semicolons or timestamp that’s confusing PHP.
