If you want to email them the same page that you sent to the browser, you
can do this using output buffering. In your confirmation page:


";
?>

Thanks for your order!

";

// now mail the page
$mailto = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$mailsubject = "Thanks for your order";
$mailbody = ob_get_contents();
$mailheaders = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\nContent-Type: text/html";

mail($mailto, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailheaders);

// and output the page to the browser
ob_end_flush();
?>


But not all mail clients can read HTML email, so it is a good idea to
provide a plain text version of the email as well. You can put both versions
of the mail in the one message using MIME. Try changing the above code
slightly, as follows:

[kevin1]

use

$filearray = 
file("http://www.yourstite.com/yourscript.php?some_vars=whatever");

then

$body = join (" ",$filearray);

mail($to $subject,$body);

or something like that. Maybe readfile() may be of use here to. You just 
want to read the page in as a string, so make sure that you use some 
method of HTTP GET to grab the file - then you will have the html source 
seen by the browser. Put that into a string and mail it.

Hi,

This might help, its a script that'll suck in a page from your site and send
it as an HTML email.

Its NOWHERE near perfect, and needs alot of fixing. But it works. It relys
on HTML Mime Mail class from http://www.heyes-computing.net/scripts/. But I
had to make a few changes to the class to make it work in Windows clients.
You have to remove all the \r's and .chr(13)'s.

I hope this helps, I've attached the script I wrote

Cheers

Lets be clear. Do you want to send the page or just the important values 
from the page?

One way I do this is like this:
$successPage =<

[PHP] stumped on mailing a complete page

[Brett]

This question may have been asked a million times, but I have had no luck
searching for a difinitive answer.

I want to send a confirmation email upon receiving an order, and would like
to send the page that I display on the browser to the user.

I can not figure out how to send a page, like the links that let you mail a
page to a friend on some sites.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Brett
