PHP Form variables and email

smoky989

OK, here's the deal. I have a form that when the user hits the submit button a PHP page is called displaying the variables from the form where I want them on a page. It works fine. What I would like to do is have the html generated by that PHP page emailed to me so I can upload the file for permanent use. I asked this question on another forum and was told it can be done using output buffering. I've looked at a few tutorials but could not find anything to solve my problem. If anyone could explain how I could do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Dave

If im not mistaken, put this in the beginning of ur ph page:

<?php
function mailMe($buffer) {
$header  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "From: phpWebMailer@your-domain.com\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
mail("youraddress@your-domain.com","HTML PAGE",$buffer,$header);
}

ob_start("mailMe");

//Your PHP stuff
// ---
//--

 ?>

add this to the last line of ur page just before the ?>

ob_end_flush(); 
?>

Tell me how it turns out

I have not tried it yet because my PHP page is an html page with embedded PHP. To use your code I think I have to make it all PHP and embed the html within it. I'll let you know how I make out once I do thta. Heres a sample of the code if you want to take a look or have another solution. Thanks again.
