Is there a way to use these two types of coding in the Mail function of PHP?

Thanks for any help you can give it is most appreciated!!

money_format('% i', $total)

and

print " <tr class=orderpage > \n";
print " <td align=center>$C SQTY</td>\n";
print " <td>COLD SORES</td>\n";
print " <td>\$20.00</td>\n";
print " <td>&nbsp;</td>\n";
print " <td>\$$CST</td>\n";
print " </tr>\n";

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think this may answer it...

When mail() executes, it simply uses parameters to write the "source
code" for an email and sends that (in some fashion) to the sendmail
program on the server; so, if you want to have HTML in your message,
simply include HTML code in the string $message that you put into the
mail() function.

If your question is about putting dynamic PHP code into an email. This
is impossible unless a clients computer is specifically set up to
execute PHP code from emails, and I don't know of anyone who does this.
Email can only be static text/html code.

It is possible to have JScript and Java, but these are MAJOR security
concerns and most people now have these functions turned off. Outlook
Express and Firefox both install default with JScript and Java turned off.

FYI, here is the documentation for the mail function from the PHP manual.

bool mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string
additional_head ers [, string additional_para meters]] )

Let me know if this didn't answer your question.

No I am sorry I must not have been clear.

Here is what I want. The code on my web server would be

money_format('% i', $total)

or

print " <tr class=orderpage > \n";
print " <td align=center>$C SQTY</td>\n";
print " <td>COLD SORES</td>\n";
print " <td>\$20.00</td>\n";
print " <td>&nbsp;</td>\n";
print " <td>\$$CST</td>\n";
print " </tr>\n";

but when the email comes in to the client it would look like this

65.25

or

<tr class=orderpage >
<td align=center>15 </td>
<td>COLD SORES</td>
<td>$20.00</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>46.25</td>
</tr>

No, you didn't understand the answer! The body of an email is a string.
Build it up in any way that you want and then send it using the mail()
function. Look at '.', sprintf, and a million other manipulation
functions to get the string built.

Also look into how to handle sending html in an email.
