Sending entire web page to Email

[DarkPrince2005]

Is it possible to send an entire web page to an email using mailto:person@blah.com function, with what has been typed in the text boxes.

 

And if so what would the code look like

Of course it's possible:

<?php

$to = "theemail@address.com";
$subject = "whole page";
$message = file_get_contents("htmlpage.html");

mail($to,$subject,$message);

?>

 

You'll probably want to be setting the content headers for the mail function to html, but there's nothing different to a normal mail function call.

 

If i'm missing something here (i.e. not understanding your requirements) let me know.

Jeez that seems complicated.

complicated? that's probably the simplest send mail script I've seen in php

let me explain:

<?php
$to = "theemail@address.com"; // this is the variable that simply hold the email address to send the email to.
$subject = "whole page"; // this is the subject of thet email
$message = file_get_contents("htmlpage.html"); // file_get_contents collect the data from whatever url you put between the brackets

mail($to,$subject,$message); // then mailto sends the email. the first var is the recipient, second is the subject and third is the message, which happens to be the webpage.
?>

 

sorry if that was very basic, but.. well. It is.

ok that works, but it is sending me the code, how do i make it send me the form data?

You need to execute the mail() function from within the form page.

 

if (!empty ($_POST)){

 

     $email['sender'] = 'you@email.com';

     $email['recipient'] = 'them@email.com';

 

     $subject = 'Subject';

 

     $message = "Dear {$_POST['recipient_name']}, bla bla bla.";

 

     $headers  = "From: Sender Name <{$email['sender']}>\r\n";

     $headers .= "Reply-To: <{$email['sender']}>\r\n";

     $headers .= "Return-Path: <{$email['sender']}>\r\n";

     $headers .= "X-Sender: <{$email['sender']}>\r\n";

     $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() . "\r\n";

     $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";

     $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

 

     mail ($email['recipient'], $subject, $message, $headers);

 

}

No you don't. You just need to execute it from whatever page the form is sent to.

 

You're codes pretty spot on though.. not sure what a couple of things do, but I haven't dealt with mailto too much:

X-Sender
and
X-Mailer

 

but to simplyfy it a bit:

<?php
$to = "theemail@address.com";
$from = 'myemail@address.com'; //your own email address so they can reply.

$subject = "whole page";

$headers  = "From: $from <{$from}>\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; //this is what makes it display the html properly

$message = file_get_contents("htmlpage.html");

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>
