Re: [PHP] Joining fixed text to a SUBJECT variable

G'day ,

Thanks to you both I have muddled through. The actual answer was

$Subject = "RVRA Contact Form - ".$_POST['MessageSubject'];

I had tried something like that but I used a comma instead of the period.

And, yes, I was getting error messages "Undefined variable" on line 6. 
etc but was too dumb to work out the fix :-(

The other bloke talking strine on 'tamouse' has given me plenty to work 
on. I see you were also talking about spring chickens and autumn 
turkeys. I reckon I am almost a dodo at 82 :-)

Thanks again to you all.

Cheers....

Mike
