How can PHP variables be properly passed and utilized in text files for confirmation emails in form submissions?

When sending confirmation emails for form submissions, PHP variables can be passed and utilized in text files by using placeholders that will be replaced with the actual variable values at runtime. To achieve this, you can read the content of the text file, replace the placeholders with the PHP variables, and then send the email with the updated content. 

// Read the content of the text file
$emailContent = file_get_contents('confirmation_email_template.txt');

// Replace placeholders with PHP variables
$emailContent = str_replace('{name}', $name, $emailContent);
$emailContent = str_replace('{email}', $email, $emailContent);

// Send the email with the updated content
mail($recipient, 'Confirmation Email', $emailContent);
