PHP - sending html mail

Question

I have following PHP code to submit single input:

<?php

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$mailTo = '[email protected]';
$mailFrom = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Call Back EN';

$body = ($_GET['number']) ? $_GET['number'] : $_POST['number'].'<br />';
$body .= 'Server IP:'.gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']).'<br />';
$body .= 'Czas:'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'<br />';

mail($mailTo, $subject, $number, "From: ".$mailFrom);


?>

But the only field I'm getting by email is number - what I'm doing wrong?

Well, you're sending only $number...

in the mail call, did you meant $body instead of $number?

mail($mailTo, $subject, $body, "From: ".$mailFrom);

the body is act like email contents,
but you supplied it using variable $number,
that is why you only getting number in your email

second problem, where is the $headers ?

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

this should give you clearer picture

$headers .= "From: [email protected]";
mail($mailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

You are getting only number because you are not sending the body. try this

 <?php

 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

 $mailTo = '[email protected]';
 $mailFrom = '[email protected]';
 $subject = 'Call Back EN';

 $body = ($_GET['number']) ? $_GET['number'] : $_POST['number'].'<br />';
  $body .= 'Server IP:'.gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']).'<br />';
 $body .= 'Czas:'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'<br />';

 mail($mailTo, $subject, $body, "From: ".$mailFrom);


?>

I think you should be inserting $body instead of $number

mail($mailTo, $subject, $body, "From: ".$mailFrom);
