To not have to change your PHP code, you may capture the HTML you want to mail by enclosing your PHP code between a ob_start() and a ob_get_clean() commands, like this: ob_start(); ... your code here: $message=ob_get_clean(); And then use the $message variable to compose an HTML message.

No, there is no support for capturing output data in PHP 3. The MIME message class works in PHP 3, but to capture the output in PHP 3 you need to change your code to assign a variable with the output data instead of using output buffering functions. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You should know that php runs on a server, not on the client machine. So what do
you want to
do with php-code in a mail? You could put html (generated by php for
example), so that the mail-reader can display a table.
That is exactly what I want to do. I've got a mysql database. I want to
generate a table with data from the database into the message of the
mail. I know how the to put html in the message:
$message = '
Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!
PersonDayMonthYear
Joe3rdAugust1970
Sally17thAugust1973
';
but I want to know how to put html generated by php in the message.

[PHP] mail() php in message
Hi,
is there a way to create a mail (with the mail() function) that contains
php in the message.
Like:
I WANT TO PUT SOME PHP IN HERE TO CREATE A TABLE IN THE MESSAGE:
$columnbooks = mysql_list_fields($dbname,tmp,$mysql_link);
$sqlbooks = "select isbn,books.title, writer, publisher from tmp,books
where tmp.user=books.user";
$resultbooks = mysql_db_query($dbname,$sqlbooks);
?>
while ($valuebooks = mysql_fetch_array($resultbooks))
{ print "";
for($i=0; $i< 4; $i++ )
{
$gebruikerbooks=$valuebooks[$i];
print " $gebruikerbooks ";
}
print "";
}
mysql_free_result($resultbooks);
THIS SHOULD BE THE END OF THE MESSAGE
HERE I WILL DO THE MAILING
mail($to,$subject,$message);
?>
