";

Anyone know whats wrong with it?

Python

im not 100% sure since im still learning PHP but i think that where youve got the variable $key within the variable $message, i think it might need to be printed out instead of just stated like youve done. Because if I remember right variables cant be used within " and ". Instead they are only used within ' and '

I might be wrong though. try taking the $key variable out and see what happens.

Hmmm.... Your code tested out OK on my server. I created an empty file and put the following into the file and executed it. Did you miss anything out in your post?

<?php
$user = "UserName";
$key = "123";
$pass1 = "Password";
$message = "
Welcome to Outpost Gamers.com $user, Your account has succesfully created and you may now use your account by doing the following:

Once finished, you may use your account.
user: $user
pass: $pass1

echo $message;
?>

try this

<?php
$message = "Welcome to Outpost Gamers.com $user, Your account has succesfully created and you may now use your account by doing the following:\nYou need you activate your account by entering this activation code $key at this page:\nhttp://gambit.liquidweb.com/~outpos...ter&do=activate\nOnce finished, you may use your account.\nuser: $user\npass: $pass1\n\nThank you for registering at outpostgamers.com\nNOTE: THIS IS A AUTOMATED EMAIL, DO NOT REPLY!";

Ok, Ill post the entire code for you guys to look at... Here it is..

[php]

$query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE user_name='$user'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
$errors = "Username Has Already Been Taken";
}
else {
$key1 = rand(100, 999);
$key2 = rand(100, 999);
$key3 = rand(100, 999);
$key = " '. $key1 .'-'. $key2 .'-'. $key3 .' ";
$query = "INSERT INTO member(user_name, user_pass, user_email, user_key)". "VALUES('$user','$pass1','$email','$key');
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result){

$to = $email;
$message = "Welcome to Outpost Gamers.com $user, Your account has succesfully created and you may now use your account by doing the following:\nYou need you activate your account by entering this activation code $key at this page:\nhttp://gambit.liquidweb.com/~outpost/members.php?mode=register&do=activate\nOnce finished, you may use your account.\nuser: $user\npass: $pass1\n\nThank you for registering at outpostgamers.com\nNOTE: THIS IS A AUTOMATED EMAIL, DO NOT REPLY!";
$subject = "Outpostgamers Account Information";

$headers = "To: $mail";
$headers .= "From: register@outpostgamers.com";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
else {
echo "An Error has caused and your account cannot be created. We are sorry for the inconvience. Please try again.";
}
[/php]
