How do I accomplish sending a parsed php file in an email ...


Recommended Posts

Alright ... have a slight problem :)

 

I have an internal site for the company i work for. Every night all stores go to this web interface and goto "BREAKDOWN" to report some info at the store level. I have that form working and saving all info in the DB.

 

Now, every night that information needs to be emailed to 3 managers.

 

I can create a PHP script to display the info on a page within the site ... however I need that info emailed to these people everynight @ midnight. I understand I have to create a CROn job to accomblish this ... but I do not know how to create this email script!

 

Please any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

By the way, this information HAS to be included in the email ... in other words it cannot just email a link to the page. Thanks!

you can use output buffering to collect the page into a php var that you can write as the content of an html email

 

look into ob_start(). http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php

 

another way i've done it where a client wanted them to see the final paid invoice but have it emailed in html email, was i used

heredoc to store the content in a var then echo to webpage for them to see and use the var in email
