Using the mail() function

[techjohnny@gmail.com]

I'd like to use the $headers field in the mail() function of PHP, but
I'd like to be able to make these variable that somebody could change
in a form.

$headers .= 'To: $to' . "\r\n";


Something like that above.

Thanks,

Which will open your site as a spam relay, and quickly get your hosting
account canceled.

Yeah, I realize that now. But, what about making one of the header
fields a variable? I just don't understand the php syntax well enough
to make this happen.

Read up on single and double quoting strings, for starters. You need
either:

$headers .= "To: $to\r\n";

Or

$headers .= 'To: ' . $to . "\r\n";

Variables are not replaced when in single quotes.

First thing to read about is mail injection. If you don't read up on
that, your site will STILL be a spam relay.

Good luck,
