kev wood Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 i am working on a emailing system where the user is allowed to store images in a database which are displayed onto the newsletter to be sent out. the system works in a way that the user uploads the images enters the text they want next to the images and then when the preview button is press it takes the user to a page where all the information is displayed. the next step is to send the information out as an email. i have tried to get this working using the get_file_contents function but the email that is sent is blank. the code i am using looks like this $message = file_get_contents ('http://www.acmeart.co.uk/mercury/broad_prev.php'); and i have aline of code which should send out the information that i want which looks like this mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers); has anyone used this function to perform a task like this before or does anyone no where i am going wrong? any help or pointers in the right direction would be helpful.

gortron Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Instead of using file_get_contents() to get the content of broad_prev.php, couldn't you put the PHP code from the broad_prev.php page into the page that has $message=""; ?

kev wood Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 i have tried to put the code for the code from the broad_prev.php on to the page that is being sent out as the message but as the page has mysql on it to recall images from a remote server database. with the mysql in the page it will not recall the images.
