RE: [PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd

Oh, one more thing that's worthy of note. This method "renders" a page so you don't have to worry about htaccess protected content and authentication. What do I mean by that? Well, for example, my CRiMson project uses mod_auth_mysql to validate a user and let them in. It protects the entire /crimson/ tree at the apache level. Using the method below, I can use graphics, includes, .css, .js, etc all found in that dir tree in my template email. Then when I send it, the user does NOT have to authenticate/login just to read the email :-) Daevid Vincent http://daevid.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:daevid@daevid.com] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 10:55 AM > To: 'christian tischler'; php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP] variables in e-mail 2nd > > What I do is make a PHP page/template with php variables in place. > > Then do something like this... > > $report = "path/to/mytemp.php"; > > $today = date(); > > ob_start(); > include($report); > $message = ob_get_contents(); > ob_end_clean(); > //echo $message; > > $to = "Daevid Vincent <daevid@daevid.com>"; > //$to .= ", "."Daevid Vincent <daevid@daevid.com>"; // note the > comma > > $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; > //$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; > charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; > $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; > $headers .= "From: CRiMson <".WEBMASTER.">\r\n"; > //$headers .= "Cc: sales@example.com\r\n"; > //$headers .= "Bcc: president@example.com\r\n"; > //$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." > <".$myreplyemail.">\r\n"; > //$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; > //$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; > $headers .= "X-Mailer: CRiMson Server"; > > $subject = "my report"; > > // echo $message; > > mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); > > That's the slick as shit solution.
