hackalive Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hi guys, I am using PHPMailer to send emails - however I need to include some ifnromation outpuuted by PHP (i.e, echo etc). Now I know PHP wont work on the email client side - but I need to include this informaiton dynamically. How can I do this? Cheers in advance PS I did try htmlentities around the php output but that didnt work - not did processing the whole message through that (totally broke when doing this).

hackalive Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) This is the code for getting the message contents $postdata = http_build_query( array( 'name' => 'MEMEME' ) ); $opts = array('http' => array( 'method' => 'POST', 'header' => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content' => $postdata ) ); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $result = file_get_contents('contents.php', false, $context); $mail->MsgHTML($result); Edited October 21, 2012 by hackalive Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269734-php-output-in-html-e-mail/#findComment-1386707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Why not just edit the text in $result as you need? Since PHP is generating and sending that e-mail, you can do whatever you like to the message. Though, that said: What's the purpose of these lines? $postdata = http_build_query( array( 'name' => 'MEMEME' ) ); $opts = array('http' => array( 'method' => 'POST', 'header' => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content' => $postdata ) ); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $result = file_get_contents('contents.php', false, $context); Or to ask in another way: Why are you doing it like this?

hackalive Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Its so I can place the variables (dynamic content) to the corect place within the HTML email (contents.php) There are some echo in contents.php - but these dont work when sending the email Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/269734-php-output-in-html-e-mail/#findComment-1386716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
