php to email not displaying input data

ypelle · April 7, 2016, 6:10am

hi
i am relatively new to php. i am having very small troubles with an internal small business webpage i have put together for ordering. i have the html page where user enters their details and order. then i have the php which displays the order and confirmation, and also emails, in html the details and order. the php page displays everything correctly, but the email only displays the template and none of the user entered data. i am sure that there are mistakes in the codng which are not perfect, but as i said, it is for internal use. also, i can not work out why the email is coming from the web host server, and not the one i have in the code. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, i found the fix for it… line 207, and every other varible, shoud be
‘.$store.’ (single quotes included) and not <?php $store; ?>
or <?php echo $_POST["store"];?>

thanks everyone who viewed. i really hope this helps others!
