Here is the steps you need to take.

 

I assume you have managed to save the data in database some where what used input for the order.

1. Add a new keyword {mymonth} to your new-order html where you it appear.

2. In /classes/PaymentModule.php file,

Looking for the code that send order confirmation email

 

A. Load data you saved in databasem

B. Set it to the variable array

 

This should be done before the send mail is called.

The data should saved in database some where when the order placed.

So I don't think you can get it from $_GET which is URL parameter.

 

First you will need to find a way to save user selection of mymobth in dstabase some where.

Then you can get this data at above step2 of my instructions.

 

If you don't know much about PHP coding, it might be a little bit of charllenge for you.
