sending HTML email with a variable in the URL
- by Rob Crouch
I am using the following script to send a dynamic page (php) as a html email... the page being emailed uses a variable in the URL to determine what record is shown from a database
<?
$evid = $_GET['evid'];
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'A test email!';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Put your HTML here
$message = file_get_contents('http://www.url.co.uk/diary/i.php?evid=2');
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
as you can see the html file being emailed has a evid variable... if i set this to $evid and try to send the variable when running the current script I get an error... does anyone know of a way round this?
hope i explained that clear enough
Rob
