send email based on an html+php template

I'm developing a PHP web app in which I need to send e-mails in HTML format.I'm using mail() function.
I want to send email based on a template file. This file is an html file in which I embed pieces of PHP code.
I'm having problem interpreting this template and outputting the result into a string variable that will be passed to mail() function.

    function get_include_contents($filename) {
        if (is_file($filename)) {
            ob_start();
            include $filename;
            return ob_get_clean();
        }
        return false;
    }

    $mesaj_confirmare_cont = get_include_contents('../Anunturi-Lemn/signup/confirmation_email.html');

I use some variables in the caller script to be echoed in the template file, but they are not propagated in the included $filename. Why is that and how can I acomplish that?

try to use 

 file_get_contents();

or 

fread();

in some servers file_get_content might be blocked so checkout you server configuration and use

Above step will give you content of file in a string

they you can use preg_replace and or other string function to manipulate it

The variable needs to be passed into the function 

function get_include_contents($filename, $my_first_var, $second_var) {
...
}

 $mesaj_confirmare_cont = get_include_contents('...confirmation_email.html', $my_first_var, $second_var);
