Output file to a variable?

[acctman]

How would I print a files content to a variable? I have a file reg_confirm.tpl that has HTML inside and I want the content stored in a $message variable for inputting into the mail() function

Hey

 

Use the file_get_contents() function http://us2.php.net/filegetcontents

 

<?php

$file = 'some/path/reg_confirm.tpl';

$content = file_get_contents($file);

echo $content; // Outputs everything from your file

?>
