Sending Web Page through Email in php

as in asp we have function to send complete web page in email, which basically save lot of time for developer in creating & sending email

see the following code

     <%
    Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
    myMail.From="[email protected]"
    myMail.To="[email protected]"
    myMail.CreateMHTMLBody "mywebpage.html",cdoSuppressNone
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing
    %>

as we know that CreateMHTMLBody will get data from mywebpage.html and send it as a body of email.

i want to know does any function like (CreateMHTMLBody) this is available in php ?

if Not can we crate any function if yes, please give me some hints.

Thanks

PHPMailer

Or use phpmailer. It has a better change to have the emails not to end up in the spam folder.

Install PHPMailer

  1. Get Composer installed and do composer phpmailer/phpmailer to install the PHPMailer class.
  2. Include the autoloader require "vendor/autoload.php"

Create and send an email

  $mail = new PHPMailer( true );

  try {
    //$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER; // Enable verbose debug output

    // Server settings
    $mail->isSMTP();
    $mail->Host       = $mail_host;
    $mail->Port       = $mail_port;
    $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
    $mail->Username   = $mail_username;
    $mail->Password   = $mail_password;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS;

    // Recipients
    $mail->setFrom( $fromEmail, $fromName );
    $mail->addAddress( $to );

    // Content
    $mail->isHTML( true );
    $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
    $mail->Subject = $subject;
    $mail->AddEmbeddedImage( 'path-to-logo-image', 'logo' );
    $mail->Body    = $message;

    $mail->send();
    //LOG->info( "email sent", [ 'to' => $to ] );
  } catch ( Exception $e ) {

    //LOG->critical( "error sending email", [ 'error' => $e->getMessage() ] );
  }

Make sure to set the variables. You should probably sanitize the email addres with filter_var( trim( $email ), FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL ); The $message should be string containing a html page where <img src='logo' alt='logo'> could be used to include a png/jpg/gif image.

Use the output buffer functions of PHP and include the desired webpage. Example:

// Start output buffering
ob_start();

// Get desired webpage
include "webpage.php";

// Store output data in variable for later use
$data = ob_get_contents();

// Clean buffer if you want to continue to output some more code
// in which case it would make sense to use this functionality in the very beginning
// of your page when no other code has been processed yet.
ob_end_clean();

To add to Erik's answer, if you want to import a local (or remote!) file instead of specifying the HTML in the code itself, you can do this:

// fetch locally
$message = file_get_contents('filename.html');

// fetch remotely
$message = file_get_contents('http://example.com/filename.html');

Example below:

<?
    if(($Content = file_get_contents("somefile.html")) === false) {
        $Content = "";
    }

    $Headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $Headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
    $Headers .= "From: ".$FromName." <".$FromEmail.">\n";
    $Headers .= "Reply-To: ".$ReplyTo."\n";
    $Headers .= "X-Sender: <".$FromEmail.">\n";
    $Headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; 
    $Headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; 
    $Headers .= "Return-Path: <".$FromEmail.">\n";  

    if(mail($ToEmail, $Subject, $Content, $Headers) == false) {
        //Error
    }
?>

Here's how:

$to  = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'A test email!';

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Put your HTML here
$message = '<html><body>hello world</body></html>';

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

You've just sent HTML email. To load an external HTML file replace $message = '' with:

$message = file_get_contents('the_file.html');
