    Hi guys,

    I am looking to pass some PHP Vars from a snippet to a chunk - what am I doing wrong...

    Snippet code:

    $ClientArray = array(
    $briefing_yourname => $briefing_yourname
);
$message2 = $modx->getChunk('EMAIL_BriefingForm_Client', '$ClientArray');


    So, I have a var in the snippet called $briefing_yourname that gets the value of a form field, I want to pass the value of that form field in the $briefing_yourname PHP var to the chunk "EMAIL_BriefingForm_Client", so that where I use the $briefing_yourname in the chunk, it reads in the form field value...

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Cheers

      OK - Solved it - this is the correct format:

      $message = $modx->getChunk('EMAIL_BriefingForm_Client', array(
         'briefing_yourname' => $briefing_yourname
));


      Then in Chunk use:

      [[+briefing_yourname]]
