Email w/ Include

[dlf1987]

I'm trying to send an email, by including the message from an include.

The email goes through, but the sessions on the included page don't show up in the email... is there anyway to fix that?

email.php

<?php
//Sessions
$_SESSION['first_name']	= $_POST["first_name"];
$_SESSION['last_name']	= $_POST["last_name"];

// EMAIL
function get_include_contents($filename) {
    if (is_file($filename)) {
        ob_start();
        include $filename;
        $contents = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        return $contents;
    }
    return false;
}

$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$message = get_include_contents('email/order_receipt.php');	
$Name = "XXXXXX.COM";
$email = "[email protected]";
$recipient = $_SESSION['email'];
$mail_body	= stripslashes($message);
$subject = "XXXXXX - Order Receipt";
$header .= "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n";	
mail($recipient, $subject, "$mail_body", $header);
?>

 

order_receipt.php

<strong>Billing Address:</strong><br>
<?php $_SESSION['first_name']; ?> <?php $_SESSION['last_name']; ?>

 

Yes, i have session_start(); on both pages.

oops, you already told us you have session_start() on both pages...

you don't need session_start in the include file, just the main file.

 

and second, you need to have the second page in a variable.

 

<?php
$mail_body = '<strong>Billing Address:</strong><br>
'.$_SESSION['first_name'].' '.$_SESSION['last_name']';
?>

Actually I would do this:

 

<?php
//Sessions
$_SESSION['first_name']	= $_POST["first_name"];
$_SESSION['last_name']	= $_POST["last_name"];

// EMAIL
function get_include_contents($filename) {
    if (is_file($filename)) {
        ob_start();
        include $filename;
        return $contents;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}

$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$message = get_include_contents('email/order_receipt.php');	
$Name = "XXXXXX.COM";
$email = "[email protected]";
$recipient = $_SESSION['email'];
$mail_body	= stripslashes($message);
$subject = "XXXXXX - Order Receipt";
$header .= "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n";	
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
?>

 

email/order_receipt.php

<?php
$contents = '<strong>Billing Address:</strong><br>
'.$_SESSION['first_name'].' '.$_SESSION['last_name'];
?>

Thanks guys, but I was hoping there was another way, cause i wanted to be able to edit the email layout in WYSISYG editor and it doesn't display the structure of the page if its in a var :/

Is there no other way around it?
