Inserting variable in an email?

[eluser]anna16[/eluser]
Hello guys

I'm trying to insert a variable inside an email.

Is this correct?

Code:

$total = 50;

$this->email->message('Amount: $total');

I tried it but it doesn't worked.
what is the proper way?

Thanks in advanced?

Code:

$total = 50;

$this->email->message('Amount: $total');

Use

Code:

this->email->message("Amount: $total");

It will work as variable substitution is not allowed for the string in single quote.
