Ok, as requested i'm gonna add a lil of my script.

//extract all varriable names from template file and save names to arr
+ay.
$clean_vars = gleen_vars();

//extract outgoing mail format from template file.
$fd = fopen ($template, "r") or die("Could not open template file");
 $mail_out = fread ($fd, filesize($template));
fclose ($fd);

//replace varribles in template with varriables from input.
$i="0";
$replaced_var = "$$clean_vars";
echo $replaced_var[2][2];
while($clean_vars[2][$i]){
  str_replace("%$clean_vars[$i]%","$replaced_var[2][$i]",$mail_out);
  echo $clean_vars[2][$i];
  echo $replaced_var[2][$i];
  echo "<br><br>";
  $i++;
}
echo $replaced_var[2][2];
echo $mail_out;
break;

//seperate out the header information and create varriables to, and fr
+om.
list($header,$mail_out) = preg_split("%Begin Email%",$mail_out,2);
list($to,$from) = preg_split("/[\n]+/",$header);
list($crap,$to)=split(":",$to);
list($crap,$from)=split(":",$from);

//output to mailer deamon
sndmail($to,$from,$title,$mail_out);
logdata($to,$from,$title,1);
