How to send an entire web page using phpmail()?

How to send an entire dynamic web page using phpmail()?

Similar to mail this page or send to a freind link

Errr.... seems like this thread is incomplete.

Probably just have to send an appropriate header with it. text/html should do it.

Not sure what you mean.
Where does that stuff go or how should it look?
I have some code but have nothing for the body section.

Why is it incomplete?

here is a mail function that i use all the time. You can put all the html into a variable ($html in my example).


$html = "<p>Put your html in this variable</p>";
$email = "name@domain.com"; // who it is to
$subject = "Subject";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Name <name@domain.com>\r\n";
mail($email,$subject,$html,$headers);

Cool thanks, but then it's not a dynamic page, which means for every page I send it has to hand coded.

Umm.. Just assign some dynamic markup to the $html variable?
How about (really dirty example code):
class email{

private $to, $subj, $msg, $headers;

public function __construct($to=null,$subj=null,$msg=null,$headers=null){
if(!$to || !$subj || !$msg){
throw new Exception("Email instance requires to, subject and message data.");
}
$this->to = $to;
$this->subj = $subj;
$this->msg = $msg;
$this->headers = $headers;
}

public function send(){
if(!mail($this->to, $this->subj, $this->msg, $this->headers)){
throw new Exception("Email could not be sent");
}
return 1;
}

}

class template{

private static $vars = null;
private static $vars_set = false;
public static $silent = true;

public function __construct(){
throw new Exception("Instances of template are not allowed");
}

public function __clone(){
throw new Exception("Cloning of template is not allowed");
}

public function import($filename=null){
if(!$filename){
if(!self::$silent){
throw new Exception("Expecting filename, received NULL");
}
return;//exit silently
}
if(!file_exists($filename)){
if(!self::$silent){
throw new Exception("Unable to load template with filename '$filename', no file exists");
}
return;//exit silently
}
$eOld = "";
if(self::$silent){
$eOld = error_reporting(0);//disable error reporting if silent mode
}
ob_start();
include($filename);
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if(self::$silent){
error_reporting($eOld);//enable error reporting again
}
return $content;
}

}

$mail = new email("foo@bar.com", "subject", template::import("foo.php"), "Content-type: text/html");
$mail->send();
There's probably errors and stuff through it, sort of hacked it together and it's not tested.. But shouldn't be too hard to move on.

What about security?
Does this script at leat give some secure features?

A bad-intentioned person could use:
http://www.my.page.com/sendme.php?page=http://www.nicesite.com
And will have a password sent to email:
http://www.my.page.com/sendme.php?page=/etc/passwd

cheers

Well that's up to you. What I (and flann) gave you leaves it to you to decide how and what is sent, it just provides a method to do so.

'send to a friend' links normally just send a link to the page, rather than the page itself. Does yours really have to be different?

Ok this what I got:
Is this correct?

<?php
class email{
private $to, $subj, $msg, $headers;
public function __construct($to=null,$subj=null,$msg=null,$headers=null){
if(!$to || !$subj || !$msg){
throw new Exception("Email instance requires to, subject and message data.");
}
$this->to = $to;
$this->subj = $subj;
$this->msg = $msg;
$this->headers = $headers;
}
public function send(){
if(!mail($this->to, $this->subj, $this->msg, $this->headers)){
throw new Exception("Email could not be sent");
}
return 1;
}
}
class template{
private static $vars = null;
private static $vars_set = false;
public static $silent = true;
public function __construct(){
throw new Exception("Instances of template are not allowed");
}
public function __clone(){
throw new Exception("Cloning of template is not allowed");
}
public function import($filename=null){
if(!$filename){
if(!self::$silent){
throw new Exception("Expecting filename, received NULL");
}
return;//exit silently
}
if(!file_exists($filename)){
if(!self::$silent){
throw new Exception("Unable to load template with filename '$filename', no file exists");
}
return;//exit silently
}
$eOld = "";
if(self::$silent){
$eOld = error_reporting(0);//disable error reporting if silent mode
}
ob_start();
include($filename);
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if(self::$silent){
error_reporting($eOld);//enable error reporting again
}
return $content;
}
}
$mail = new email("example.com", "TEST HTML", template::import("http://www.furkids.co.za/index.php"), "Content-type: text/html");
$mail->send();
?>

Hi GJay
The problem that I have seen befor is HTTPREFER errors in PHP.

This is an error I got after runnin the script above:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Email instance requires to, subject and message data.' in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\usermail\mail3.php:6 Stack trace: #0 c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\usermail\mail3.php(57): email->__construct('info@furkids.co...', 'TEST HTML', NULL, 'Content-type: t...') #1 {main} thrown in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\usermail\mail3.php on line 6

Hi flann
If I use your one I get this in email.
http://www.furkids.co.za/index.php

<?php
//$html = "<p>Put your html in this variable</p>";
$html = "http://www.furkids.co.za/index.php";
$email = "example.com"; // who it is to
$subject = "Subject";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Info <example.com>\r\n";
mail($email,$subject,$html,$headers);
?>

Hi guys
First of all thanks for your responses.
Here is what mine looks like.
<?php
$page = "http://www.domain.com/";
$buffer = "";
$handle = fopen($page, "r");
if ($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer .= fgets($handle, 4096);
}
fclose($handle);
}
require('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'localhost';
$mail->From = 'mail@domain.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Name';
$mail->AddBCC ('mail@domain.com', 'Name');
$mail->AddReplyTo('mail@domain.com', 'Name'); // optional name
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap to 50 characters
//$mail->AddAttachment('image.jpg','Name'); // optional name
$mail->IsHTML(true); // set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'HTML Test';
$mail->Body = $buffer;
//$mail->AltBody = ''; //this is for text no HTML
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo 'Message could not be sent. <p>';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo 'Message has been sent';
?>
Please make sure to have the class.phpmailer.php I think you can get from php.net using phpmail.
Cheers
