Answer : Can't get php variables into Mail

I've made some minor tweeks which could result in a PHP error,
though i cannot find anything seriously wrong except array usage outside strings

($_POST[information] should be $_POST['information'])

i've also changed the insert id stuff, because basicly you insert an article and then request the id by query, when mysql just returns it to you.
