[FX.php List] Pegging the CPU with PHPMailer

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Thanks ggt,

But the text string is coming from a variable,  $htmlstring:

$htmlstring = "My name is {$name}.";
$name = $findData['name'][0];
echo <<<output
$htmlstring
output;


This currently outputs: My name is .

FYI, I will be saving the new string to a variable, rather than echoing.
