How to send news letter as html with a template?

[madhead29]

Hi, i have a mailinglist/newsletter and what i want it do is when i type a message into the message box in 'quickmsg.php' it will also send a html file which will be the template for the newsletter, this will only change when the .html or .extention is edited. the template will have a box on it and when the text is typed into the message box on 'quickmsg.php' it will auto appear on the template file and get sent to the users email address. Is there a way to do this? Also i dont want it sending as attachments i want it to look like a website when they open there email. You can download the php files that i am talking about at: http://firecare999.com/mailing-list.zip

 

The newsletter template hasn't been made yet but i hope you understand what i mean.

 

Thanks in advance.

Carl,

 

I think you'll answer 99% of the questions you have if you just do some looking around on how to send HTML formatted emails.  It's actually remarkably easy to do, once you get the hang of it.  I'm afraid I can't think of any really good resources right off hand that teach one how to do it, but I do have here a generic script for sending HTML email...it's pretty well commented, so if it's of use to you, it's yours with my compliments

Hi, thanks for your help i will have a look at the file that you sent. The most important part of the system will be the fact that i can type into the text box and then it will get added into the email. I will look around the website for information on this. Thanks again.

 

Regards,
