mail and php

[jakeisaac]

I have written a script that sends mail in html format. Now I would like to be able to use a php file instead of an html file so that I can create and 'admin' page that allows me to change the content of the file and hit send. I don't know how to get the system to process the page and place it in a string so I can send it.

Any idea's.
Thanks everyone.

I use output buffering when doing things like this:

Sample

--8<----------------
...
ob_start();

// Insert your old HTML code here

$buffer = ob_get_contents();
// $buffer now contains HTML file
ob_end_clean();

mail( $to, $subject $buffer );

----------------->8--

Or may be I didn't understand :]

I am not following you, I have created an admin page that you type the text that you want to appear in the target php page. I store the test in separate session variables, now when I go to send the page I need the php page to get processed so it can retrieve the session variables, put them in the page and then mail it with the new content. Currently it isn't processing the php file so i am just sending the template.

thanks again
i appreciate the help
