I want the 'name' from the form input (http://besthomebuildercoloradosprings.com/) to display in the auto response email (after the word 'Congratulations'). It currently doesn't display within my html despite inserting <?php echo $name; ?>. I've looked all over the forums and experimented but nothing works.
Here are the contents to my webformmailer.php file:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$bonus = $_POST['bonus'];
$formcontent=" Hello, \n \nThis email has been sent to you from the Challenger Homes BestHomeBuilderColoradoSprings.com contact form. \n \n From: $name \n Phone: $phone \n Email: $email \n Bonus: $bonus \n";
$recipient = "[email protected]";
$subject = "New lead from Challenger Homes!";
$mailheader = "From: [email protected] \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header("Location: http://www.besthomebuildercoloradosprings.com/thankyou.html");
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
@mail($email, $email_subject, $replymsg, $headers);
$replymsg = "

In your case <?php echo $name; ?> is using PHP inside PHP. This doesn't make sense:
<?php
$name = "test";
$replymsg = "<?php echo $name; ?>";
Better to use simply {$name}:
<?php
$name = "test";
$replymsg = "Blah blah {$name} and more.";
Or use string concatenation:
<?php
$name = "test";
$replymsg = "Blah blah " . $name . " and more.";
