send rendered page using mail()

[delphipgmr]

HI,

Im trying to figure out how to send an email out using mail(), that contains the web page.

in asp , it simple. you do

set xmlhttp = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") 
xmlhttp.open "GET", "www.microsoft.com", false 
xmlhttp.send "" 
msgbody= xmlhttp.responseText 
set xmlhttp = nothing 

this sets the message body to the webpage microsoft.com (the actualy content of it, not a link).

Its easy to send a link, but i want to send the dynamically created page.

this is going on a clients server, and it has no features, its running version 4.0.6 of php, and they wont upgrade. so i cant add any components to it, has to be done with mail().

any ideas?

hi!

sending html format pages via email:

you want to send a page that you have created via php? -> instead of echoing/printing it out, collect it in a variable, then mail the variable (set HTML content headers).

or, if you want to send a remote page, load it using
$page = implode("\n", file($url));
(then, you may have to replace relative paths for links and images contained with absolute ones ... see str_replace in the doc).

now you can mail that, but don't forget html content headers here as well.

details, as always, at: www.php.net

hope this helps!

ps: I nearly forgot, some sites cannot be loaded via file() because they are secured against such access.
and with other pages, you have to come by the frameset ...
but this should be the same as with asp.
