%s is only in line 260

and my php code

$to = $validatedData['email'];
$name = $validatedData['name'];

$subject = 'Thank\'s for being with Us';

$message = file_get_contents(ROOT . '/views/newsletters/sign-up.php');
$message = sprintf($message, $name);

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$headers[] = 'To: ' . $validatedData['name'] . '<' . $to . '>';
$headers[] = 'From: LinkedInterests Support <support@LinkedInterests.in>';                

mail($to, $subject, $message, implode("\r\n", $headers));

Solution

  • $body = file_get_contents('email-template.html');
    $patterns = array(
            '/{name}/',
            '/{date}/',
            '/{company}/',
            '/{contact}/',
            '/{email}/',
        );
        $replacements = array(
            $post['name'],
            $post['date'],
            $post['company'],
            $post['contact'],
            $post['email'],
        );
    $body = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $body);
    

    And Email Template Should be like this

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Email</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>
            <p>
                <b>Hi {name},</b>
                <b>Your {date},</b>
                <b>Your {company},</b>
                <b>Your {contact},</b>
                <b>Your {email},</b>
            </p>
    </body>
    </html>
