[PHP] Including a URL for mailing..
What I'm trying to do is specify a URL in a form, and then take that URL, put its contents into a variable, and mail it out in an e-mail message with the body of the message being that URL. I haven't gotten anywhere so far, just getting blank messages for the body.. can anyone point me in the right direction on saving the contents of a page to a variable? I've ran across a few examples, but nothing has worked for me yet. :( Thanks, Chad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Various things, but I finally hit upon something that worked. Thanks anyway. Chad -Original Message- From: Rodney J.

In a php script put the following: ob_start(); //everything following will be stored for output. include 'your_page.php'; $body=ob_get_contents(); //store everything in output in $body variable Then mail as usual. Your page will be the $body variable. If you want to display the page as well use ob_end_flush(). If you just want to mail the page use ob_end_clean() to clear the output buffering and continue scripting for normal display. check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php for more information on output buffering. If you are still stuck email me off list and I will send you a sample of a file that does the same thing for me.
