mail() won't work with function()
i have a mail.php page set up that works 100%, it emails me like it should. but when i try to make a function() be the $message it doesn't work.

my message is dynamic and needs to evaluated by the php page. i have for loops and inludes etc, nothing extremely complex. when i set the function to be the message my emails turn up empty and the page will not forward with "header" set.

this does not work:
PHP Code:

function message(){

bla bla bla

};



$message = message();



$headers .= "From: ".$username."<".$useremail.">\r\n";



if (mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $headers)) 

{ 

header('Location: confirm.php'); 

} 

this works:
PHP Code:

$message = "test";







$mailto = 'beats@camo.biz, [email]nassau@home.se[/email]';

$subject = 'Order: '.$userid.$useremail.'';



//$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

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

$headers .= "From: ".$username."<".$useremail.">\r\n";



if (mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $headers)) 

{ 

header('Location: confirm.php'); 

} 




thankful for help

when you type:
PHP Code:

$message = message(); 
this means that message() will return a value! in your declaration, you didn't return any value and kept echoing stuff ..
