Question : PEAR Mail variable problem

hi guys,

i am in need of some assistance.

i've recently had to obtain PEAR Mail so i can send an email to a user to allow them to activate there account (sent through php).  i managed to make it work by having static data in the email form file, but it doesn't work when i try and use variables.

i think my problem lies with the "to" variable.

here's my code:
$to = '<$email>'; //this doesn't work
$to = ''; //this does work (obvisiously with proper detials)

i've the the first line in many different variation, but i just cant seem to make it work.

am i missing something?

regards

jack

Answer : PEAR Mail variable problem

Sse double quotes instead of single quotes.
Single quotes will not expand variables.
Alternatively you can use the string concatination operator: $to = '<'.$email.'>';

$to = "<$email>";
$to = "";
