I'm looking for email to have this subject line format: variable / variable / MY HARD CODED TEXT
City / Full_name / Hard coded text

How can I get the variable to display in the subject line? So far everything I've tested has failed.

Thank you

send_form_email.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "";
$email_subject = "VARIABLE / VARIABLE / MY TEXT";

function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}

// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['full_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['city']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
!isset($_POST['vnc']) ||
!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}

$full_name = $_POST['full_name']; // required
$city = $_POST['city']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
$vnc = $_POST['vnc']; // not required
$comments = $_POST['comments']; // required

$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$full_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$city)) {
$error_message .= 'The City you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}

$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($full_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "City: ".clean_string($city)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "VNC: ".clean_string($vnc)."\n";
$email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";

// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>

It's unclear what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to put the city and the full name from the previous page in the subject line?

I want to have my variable 'city' and 'full_name' in the subject line in the email in this format:

$city '/' $full_name '/' MY TEXT HARD CODED
