generate a flat html file for email

[wardjame]

I have a page on my site that I would like to mail to several people (newsletter.php). But if I send the page as is it will not have processed the php in the page ( include files, database calls, etc.) Is there a way for me to generate a flat file that can be sent as an html encoded e-mail?

I am not sure if this will work, but I think it will. (98% sure)

If you open it from your webserver in php:

<?
$processed=file("http://www.yoursite.com/newsletter.php");

and then write the contents of the array, 1 array item per line to your file to be emailed.

Thanks PyroX,
I didn't end up using what you sent but the file function got me looking in the right direction. I ended up just uding implode(). The only problem is that I now HAVE to write the html file. I cant just email the string generated from the implode(). Here's the code to get the web page write the html file then read the file into a string for e-mailing. If anyone knows why just using implode wont work for please let me know.

$filename="http://www.wardadvocacy.com/newsletters.php";
$fcontents = implode ('', file ($filename));
$newfile="email.html";
$fp=fopen($newfile,"w") or die("Error writing to file.");
fwrite($fp,$fcontents);
fclose($fp);
$fp=fopen($newfile,"r") or die("Error reading from file.");
$fsize=filesize($newfile);
$html_message=fread($fp,$fsize);
fclose($fp);

As you can see it would be nice to just set html_message=$fcontents but that doesn't seem to work. Oh well at least I'm in business.
