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. Brett
