Hello everybody,
I'm running a small script that should send the user an email, telling them what their new password is.

I have my variable:

PHP

$newPassword

And I have my HTML Email:

HTML

<html>
<body>
    <div class='container'>
        <img src='images/logos/small_logo.png' />
        <h4>Your password has been reset to the following:</h4>
        <p>" . $newPassword . "</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

I'm trying to pass the variable through in the html paragraph tags in my email, but the output is blank.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Tom.

You may wanna post it as a solution, it is the correct one too (I believe)

That should be an answer, not a comment it is more than correct. ;)

I will post this myself, to close the question, although the credit should go to enhzflep, as he has been the first to answer. As a courtesy, I will upvote your first 5 answers I find in Q&A, provided they have been accepted or upvoted already.
Also, should you decide to post the solution yourself, just say so and I will delete mine

Solution:
Replace this line " . $newPassword . " with <?php echo $newPassword; ?>
