Get a NETQUOTEVAR into php - help

[rayr]

I am trying to get the ordernumber NQV into a php variable so I can email it.
I am using a php include in order04.html hoping to get the ordernumber into a variable and then use the php email function to send.
include seems to work OK but I cannot seem to get the order number tried

$ord_num = '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="Theordernumber" selectable="false" />';

but this did not work.
Has anyone tried this or can point me in the right direction!!
Thanks

Sounds like you are using V8 functionality on a V7 site - if so, not gonna happen.
