I created a flash photo gallery with thumbs. When you click a thumb the matching big pic is opened with a “tell a friend” button next to it. Pressing the button opens a form where the user enters his and his friend’s names and email addresses, and then sends an e-mail to the friend. I made it like this: flash sends vars from form to a php file; php file allocates the names and addresses to the “$to”/"$from" fields, allocates an HTML content to the “$message” field (because I need to include an <img src> tag to include the pic in the created email), and sends the email using mail() function. The result: the email is received successfully.
To summarize, the php is built like this:
<?php
//receiving variables from Flash, through POST object, and storing them in local php variables
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$emailfriend=$_POST['emailfriend'];
//define the receiver of the email
$to=$emailfriend;
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'from your friend';
// message
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>example</title>
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
<div id="content">
<div id="emailContent">

Hi <b>***</b>,<br><br>

';
$headers = "From: $name <$email>
";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
//send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
My problem is, I want the email to be created dynamically: I want the created email to include the names of the user and his friend, and to include the image that the user wants to tell about, dynamically.
Anyone can help??
