HTML Emails - Cant use variables

Permalink May 23, 2013 at 10:32 AM

Hello, I am using the standard send mail function and sending HTML emails. This work fine, however, when i try and add a variable to the mail body using %s, the html mail fails and throws back an error.

If i take all tags out of the html email with "" such as <table width=""> - it works fine.
Is there a way round this by wrapping the %s in something or similar..?

E.g

$mh = Loader::helper('mail');
$mh->to('email.com);
$mh->from('email.com');
$mh->addParameter(‘uName’, ‘name’);
$mh->load('book_viewing');
$mh->sendMail();
in book viewing template
<?php
$subject = t('my subject');
$bodyHTML = t('
<table width="590">
<tr><td>text here and %s </td></tr>
</table>
', $uName );
