Store a full page of HTML in a variable

Jamesm

Is there a smart way of storing a whole page of html output as a variable?

I currently generate the page, and then cut and paste it into an email which is very labour intensive. If I could capture the page as a variable $the_missing_variable I could use this:

echo "<a href=\"mailto:$mail_address?subject=$sub_variable &body=$the_missing_variable\">E-mail this</a>";

The emails are quite long and contain links etc.

Thanks.

instead of

echo SOMETHING

use

$the_missing_variable .= SOMETHING

i have a small idea

how if you make the whole thing into a variable
ie

{PHP]
<?php
$the_missing_var= "<html><body>testing</body></html>";
//then u can send it out to the html by using
echo $the_missing_var;
//at last you have the variable you want to send via mail client
?>
[/code]

Thanks for the quick responses.

I tried this but the escaping became a nightmare and I also found that for the email It was just printing as text not html so I had what looked like source code not html displayed.

If you look at an html email source there are lots of tags at the front, but which are needed I do not know. I figured it would be easier if there was some other way of doing it.
