Onderwerp: Re[2]: [PHP] variables in a e-mail
Hello Alexander,
This is pretty much what I want to do. I want to have a e-mail script
in my application and have it so the user can customize the e-mail that
is sent out in a configure file. Say he wants to send a recurring bill
to his customers and he wants it to look a certain way. He would design
the e-mail using placeholders and the it would be processed and the data
would be filled in. Do you know of any examples of this in any program
that is out there. I do better when I can see complete examples to be
able to get the full picture
