Your code got cut short, but obviously the code is trying to send out the email. Closest thing I can identify is that the variable is being treated as a string when you call the mail function. Most common cause of this strange behavior are missing end quotes or mismatch single/double quotes. Also insure that the end of a string is terminated with a ';;';.





First, either remove this line


# Email to Owner





or change it to


// Email to Owner.





If that doesn't fix it, move the line where you assign pfw_email_to to the top of the script.





Another thing to consider is that depending on where it is hosted, embedding php variables in double quotes may not always work - this is called a magic quotation, and to be safe, I always use the format...


$some_var = ';some string ';.$some_value;





But magic quotes is a pretty common setting.





Good luck.
