[RESOLVED] $message = include('email1.3b.php'); POSSIBLE?

[v3nt]

just trying to find an easyier way of doing php html emails instead of having to \" all the time and to get a real time preview.

is it possible to set the php mail code anf then just tell it to use a file with html code in it as the email? I've tried inlcude but it doesn't make the $message variable the included file. It just seems to inlcude it when you run the script

Many thanks! D.

$to      = "[e-mail]";
$from    = 'TOM FERRIE{website updates}';
$subject = 'TOM FERRIE{website updates}';

$headers .="Reply-To: $uname\r\nFrom:[e-mail]\r\n";
$headers .="MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
$headers .="Content-type: text/html;charset: iso-8859-1"; 
$headers .="<style type=\"text/css\"> 
<!--
body {
	background-color: #333333;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #CCCCCC;

}
"; 

$message = include('email1.3b.php');

$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

If email1.3b.php is the message body for your email, then I think you would do better using [man]file_get_contents/man

[esukf]

file_get_contents

[v3nt]

$message = file_get_contents("http://www.jynk.net/tom/emails/email1.3b.php");

cheers guys - that is going to come in handy!
