[FX.php List] Pegging the CPU with PHPMailer

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Will look at Smarty.

In the meantime, I can't get Heredoc to work with my set up.

This is what I have:

$htmlstring = "My name is $name."; // My template
$name = $findData['name'][0];	//find the value from FMP

echo <<<EOT
$htmlstring
EOT;


It doesn't replace the variable with the value.  Everything I try 
generates a syntax error.

How do I do this?
