Basic mail ( ) function question

[optimus203]

Hey everyone. I am brand new to PHP. I have this PHP mail script which I can't get to run properly. The only thing I get is the subject and message. What I would like is for the variables "superpowers" and "find" to be included in the message being retrieved. I tried to incorporate these through $headers variables, but they also do not show up in the message from the HTML form. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

<?php
$to = '[email protected]' ;
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$superpower = $_POST['superpower'] ;
$find = $_POST['find'] ;
$subject = $_POST['subject'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From:".$email."\r\n";
$headers .= "Superpower:".$superpower."\r\n";
$headers .= "Find:".$find."\r\n";
 
// HTML form validation
function is_valid_email($email) {
  return preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{|}~][email protected]([0-9.]+|([^\s]+\.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $email);
}
 
function contains_bad_str($str_to_test) {
  $bad_strings = array(
                "content-type:"
                ,"mime-version:"
                ,"multipart/mixed"
        ,"Content-Transfer-Encoding:"
                ,"bcc:"
        ,"cc:"
        ,"to:"
  );
  
  foreach($bad_strings as $bad_string) {
    if(eregi($bad_string, strtolower($str_to_test))) {
      echo "$bad_string found. Suspected injection attempt - mail not being sent.";
      exit;
    }
  }
}
 
function contains_newlines($str_to_test) {
   if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\\n+|\\r+)/i", $str_to_test) != 0) {
     echo "newline found in $str_to_test. Suspected injection attempt - mail not being sent.";
     exit;
   }
} 
 
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != "POST"){
   echo("Unauthorized attempt to access page.");
   exit;
}
 
if (!is_valid_email($email)) {
  echo 'Sorry, invalid email';
  exit;
}
 
contains_bad_str($email);
contains_bad_str($subject);
contains_bad_str(body);
 
contains_newlines($email);
contains_newlines($subject);
// End HTML form validation
 
mail( $to, $subject, $message , $headers);
header( "Location: http://www.website.com/mailconfirm.html" );
?>

You probably want to append those variables to your $message variable, not your $headers variable.

Thanks fumigator. I made your recommended changes based on someone elses recommendation, and it works properly now. Thanks for you reply.

Looks like you are missing a "$" as well from here:

contains_bad_str(body);

But I can not see where that variable is from anyway so maybe it
does not matter.
