include date in email

[old.karmakiller]

Hi can someone help...I have a done a callback request form in PHP and I want to include the date in the email that the form sends...does any one know how to do it, or even better give me the source code....THANKS

can't you just pull the system time into a variable and print that?

in perl that could be something like this:

$date = localtime(time);
print "$date\n"

at least...that works for me

it needs to be php...if i do use the code you provided where would i put in my form???

well...I don't know PHP but I expect it would go something like this:

#beginning of the php code
...
here are some variables
$date = localtime(time);
...
here is some html
...
open(MAIL,"|$mailproggy")
print MAIL "to:$boss\n";
print MAIL "hello master, on $date we recieved an order from $user and did blablabla\n";
close(MAIL);
...
#code ends

'course you can prolly pull a lot from whatever form you are using too


good luck
