HTML电子邮件中的PHP代码？

Question

This is probably a very stupid question but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Can php code be used inside the body of a html email?

I have only every used variable names inside an email before i.e.

'<p>Dear'.$name.'</p>

But what if I want to make a table of data and use a loop? Can I put the php loop code in the email html? I have tried but it does not seem to like my syntax no matter what I try.

Just to be clear I have no problems sending the email.

PHP is a server-side language. You can use PHP on your server to create a HTML code for your e-mail. But you cannot include the PHP code in your email.

Example of creating a table with PHP for an email.

<?php
$my_data = Array(
                    Array("John", "32",  "Male"),
                    Array("Casey", "28",  "Male"),
                    Array("Peter", "43",  "Male"),
                    Array("Michael", "19",  "Male"),
                    Array("Samantha", "22",  "Female")
);


$table = "<table>";
$table .= " <tr>";
$table .= "     <td>Name</td>";
$table .= "     <td>Age</td>";
$table .= "     <td>Gender</td>";
$table .= " </tr>";
foreach($my_data AS $value)
{
    $table .="<tr>";
    $table .= " <td>".$value[0]."</td>";
    $table .= " <td>".$value[1]."</td>";
    $table .= " <td>".$value[2]."</td>";
    $table .="</tr>";
}

$table .= "</table>";

mail("[e-mail]", "Our users", $table);
?>
