I have this piece of code here which sends an auto-reply to customers depending on their email request. I am trying to include a section of text which looks like this:
"This email was sent at: dd/M/yyyy - hh:ii tt"
Here is my code, located within is the parts where I want to call this date using PHP and will display once received, inside [ ].
<?php
require 'class.phpmailer.php';
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
// Set the variables from the form
$firstName = $_POST['firstName'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastName'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$date = $_POST["2017"];
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = '***'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = '***'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = '***'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('***', '***');
$mail->addAddress('**'); // Add a recipient
//$mail->addAddress('ellen@example.com'); // Name is optional
//$mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');
//$mail->addCC('cc@example.com');
//$mail->addBCC('bcc@example.com');
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
//$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = '***';
$mail->Body = $message;
$message = '<b>First Name: </b>'.$_POST['firstName'].'
<br><br><b>Last Name: </b>'.$_POST['lastName'].'
<br><br><b>Telephone: </b>'.$_POST['phone'].'
<br><br><b>Email: </b>'.$_POST['email'].'
<br><br><b>Message: </b>'.$_POST['message'];
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been Sent';
}
if ($mail->send()){
$autoemail = new PHPMailer();
$autoemail->From = '***';
$autoemail->FromName = '***';
$autoemail->AddAddress($email);
$autoemail->Subject = 'Autoreply: Enquiry Submitted';
$autoemail->Body = '<html><head>
