sending an email via php with an external html file.

Spud_Nic

I'm using the mail function in PHP to send an email.

The problem is, for the body I want to use html - stored in an external file.

Within the html in the external file, I am using session variables to personalise the email.

How can I get the external html file into the body of the email, and for the session variables to work?

I've tried using the include function within the mail function, but it simply sends a "1" instead of the content.

Any ideas?
Cheers.

you can't send sessions in an email, sessions have to set into a person own PC / MAC temp folder just like a cookie. So the user has to be present at your site to obtain a session ID unique to the user.

If you wish to use rhe session variables, then you can open a temporary text file, write the email message into it, send the email using the temporary file as external email content you refer to in your post, then unlink the temporary file.

Also, can you please help me? I need to create a document control management system for a engineering system. I need for it to have check-in/check-out, versioning, change-control with multiple sign-offs, state management, etc. Also I'll need to validate users and store checksums of approved documents using an MD5 hash. This has to be finished by tomorrow, so please just post the code tonight.

PS. I'll also need documentation -- user AND tech documents. So get going. What are you waiting for? I told you I need it now! Where's my code, you lazy bum!
