character codes

[coicle]

Hi,
I am trying to include some characters, &quot;<&quot;(arrow) being one of them and the other &quot;&quot;&quot;(speech mark). How do I put them in in PhP? cos my mail out just doesn't send when i write them in.

mail($ToName.&quot; <&quot;.$ToEmail.&quot;>&quot;,$ToSubject, $Message, &quot;From: &quot;.$FromName.&quot; <&quot;.$FromEmail.&quot;>&quot;

:'(

cheers,
dan

You can't include the full name and address in the &quot;to&quot; parameter to mail(), only the email address. Instead, use the &quot;additional headers&quot; parameter to include the &quot;To:&quot; header with the recipients full name.

To include a double quote in a string, surround it by single quotes:

$foo = 'value = &quot;' . $thevalue . &quot;\n&quot;;



I will also give my general advice to anyone who is looking to create more complex emails: Take a look at PHPMailer,
