Message in Email Not Passing
I have a form that sends E'mails. This works fine. The problem is that I can't getthe message portion to show.
<?php
include("config.php");
$Lid = $_POST['Lid'];
$Lid = mysql_real_escape_string($Lid);
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");
$sql=mysql_query("SELECT tblRestaurants.RestName,tblLocations.StreetNumber,tblLocations.Street,
tblLocations.CrossOne, tblLocations.CrossTwo, tblCities.CityName,tblStates.StateName,tblZipCodes.ZipCodeName,
tblLocations.Phone,tblLocations.Email, tblLocations.Fax, tblLocations.SMS, tblLocations.LocationID
FROM tblLocations
INNER JOIN tblRestaurants ON tblRestaurants.RestID = tblLocations.RestID
INNER JOIN tblCities ON tblCities.CityID = tblLocations.CityID
INNER JOIN tblStates ON tblStates.StateID = tblLocations.StateID
INNER JOIN tblZipCodes ON tblZipCodes.ZipCodeID = tblLocations.ZipCodeID
WHERE tblLocations.LocationID = '$Lid'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$RestName = $row['RestName'];
$StreetNumber = $row['StreetNumber'];
$Street = $row['Street'];
$CrossOne = $row['CrossOne'];
$CrossTwo = $row['CrossTwo'];
$City = $row['CityName'];
$State = $row['StateName'];
$ZipCode = $row['ZipCodeName'];
$Phone = $row['Phone'];
$Email = $row['Email'];
$Fax = $row['Fax'];
$SMS = $row['SMS'];
$Lid = $row['LocationID'];
}
$to = $_POST['ESend'];
$subject = "Menuhead.com";
$RestName = $_POST['RestName'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$message="
Name: " . $_POST['RestName']." \n
Emai: $Email \n";
$from = "Menuhead";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";

Not quite. I should be getting back:
Name: Name of Restaurant
Email: Email of Restaurant
What I am getting is.
Name:''\nEmail:$Email\n
Is there a way to check if the first part is grabbing the values?

First, if you are letting users put in the 'To:' email address, you are inviting them to spam the world. You don't appear to be doing any filtering or checking of your inputs either.
Other than that... try this.

$RestName = $_POST['RestName'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$message="Name: $RestName\r\n Email: $Email \r\n";

All that comes back are the labels.
Name:
Email:
I know the values are there because I did an echo on the above PHP query and all of the values appeared. This is just very basic for now, once this works I can go onto the next step.

I'm wondering if you are confusing a form POST with 'rows' from the database because you are using the same variable names in two different ways. Try this..
//$RestName = $_POST['RestName'];
//$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$message="Name: $RestName\r\n Email: $Email \r\n";

Still Labels. Not quit sure why these values aren't passing. Should some variable names be changed?

Don't you mean...
$message .= "Email: $Email \n";
