How to use variables in email class?

[eluser]cmgmyr[/eluser]
You can do this:

Code:

$this->email->message('Dear '.$contact_name.', Thank you for your email, we will get back to you shortly');

Or something like this:

Code:

$message = 'Dear '.$contact_name.', Thank you for your email, we will get back to you shortly';
$this->email->message($message);

It looks like you also have to change the first line to:

Code:

$this->email->from($my_email, $my_name);

(without the single quotes)
