Php mail - A message variable that contain array and conditions

Question

I've been trying to send an e-mail that containt html code generated by php.

The context is, I'm using php to generate a webpage, and I'm trying to send this webpage by e-mail by copying the code I used to generate the webpage, and putting in a message using mail function.

I found a way to generate an e-mail that contains php variables like the following example :

 [...]   
$message = "<address>
                            <strong>Adresse de livraison:</strong><br>
                             $prenom  $nom<br>
                             $adress1<br>
                             $adress2<br>
                             $postalcode  $ville,  $country
                        </address>";
    mail($destinataire, $objet, $message, $headers);
[...]

Everything was perfect and the e-mail was send correctly.

But now my code contain php parts like the following example :

 if ($disque!= 'No') {
<tr>
    <td>Disque avant :  $disque</td>
    <td class='text-center'>

        $selected_product[] = $disqueav;
        $data = bdd_select('SELECT Price FROM products WHERE Nom = ?', $selected_product);
        echo $data['0']['Price'] . '€';
        $subtotalprice = $data['0']['Price'] + $subtotalprice;

    </td>
    <td class='text-center'>1</td>
    <td class='text-right'> $data['0']['Price'] . '€';</td>
</tr>
}

And it doesn't work because of the array like $data['0'], even if I'm using single comma for it, and double comma for the $message variable.

I get this error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING)

My question is, is there a way to write this part of code so I don't get any error and I can send the page exactly the way I saw it.

Thank you very much.

You can't mix PHP and HTML like that. You have to close your PHP before outputting HTML and then open PHP again to use more PHP code. — John Conde, Aug 12 '18 at 15:42
I found out that $message = "Hello $name"?> was the easiest way. — Max, Aug 12 '18 at 16:02

Try using $data[0]['price']; If it still throws error,Please tail Apache logs in comment.

Thank you ! It helps, but it still have problems with the $selected_product[] = $disqueav. The error for this line is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ']', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or number (T_NUM_STRING) – Max Aug 12 '18 at 14:54
Please comment the piece of code where you have defined the variable $disqieav. – Anshu Kumar Aug 12 '18 at 15:01
This a variable extract from $_post. But I get the problem is the way $selected_product[] is writed. – Max Aug 12 '18 at 15:03
extract($_POST); – Max Aug 12 '18 at 15:03
Ok. Instead of using $selected_product[] = $disqueav; try using array_push($selected_product,$disqueav); – Anshu Kumar Aug 12 '18 at 15:04
Thanks, It seems to work, I don't have this error anymore. Now I'm only have some undefinded variables : subtotalprice, data, selected_product. I'm gonna make some test. – Max Aug 12 '18 at 15:18
Your Welcome, If you need further help feel free to comment. If your probem is solved, mark the solution solved. Thanks. – Anshu Kumar Aug 12 '18 at 15:21

Just make a message variable embed your message strings to that variable. It also had a problem with $data['0']; Because 0 is integer index not a string so it should be $data[0] not $data['0']. I think this will work for you. I couldn't test properly because I don't have the database.

$message = "<table><tbody>";
if ($disque!= 'No') {
    $message.="<tr>
    <td>Disque avant :".  $disque."</td>
    <td class='text-center'>";

    $selected_product[] = $disqueav;
        $data = bdd_select('SELECT Price FROM products WHERE Nom = ?', $selected_product);
        $message .= $data[0]['Price'] . "€";
        $subtotalprice = $data[0]['Price'] + $subtotalprice;
        $message .= $subtotalprice;
    $message .= "</td>
    <td class='text-center'>1</td>";
    $message .= "<td class='text-right'> ".$data[0]['Price'] . "€</td>
</tr>";

}

$message .="</tbody></table>";
