Remote files and mail

[Anon]

I have this chunk of code below to mail a user. The email body itself is in a text file titled "body.txt". Can anyone give some code so that I can have the script read and process this text file then allow it to be inserted where the $body tag is?

---

/ recipients /
$recipient = '$firstname $lastname <$email>';

/ subject /
$subject = 'Your MacVillage.net Account';

/ additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc /

$headers .= 'From: Account Manager <[e-mail]>\n';
$headers .= 'X-Sender: <[e-mail]>\n';
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: MacVillage.net Backend\n';
$headers .= 'Return-Path: <[e-mail]>\n'; // Return path for errors
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative\n';
$headers .= 'boundary="___BoundaryOfDocument___"';
@mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
}
return 2;

}

I a m getting an error on that third line:

while (!feof($fh))

Why?

If you gave the error message, don't you think it would help us ?

Anyway, simply use this (found in the PHP manual for the fread function, I haven't invented the powder (French expression, I don't know if you have the same in English) ) :

$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize($filename));
fclose ($fd);

The error was

"Parse error: parse error in backend.php on line 220"

the line is

while(!feof($fh)

Hmm... After a long research, I came to the conclusion that you missed a parenthesis.
