Email content within variable

I am creating a form online and I need the email sent out to contain content from a file.

my headers are setup like this

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

and my content is here

$email_message = file_get_contents('http://www.link.co.uk/wp-content/themes/themename/email-content.php');

The file contains an email template, the problem i have is that the template is emailed out in raw format.

Here is my code:

$email_message = file_get_contents('http://www.link.co.uk/wp-content/themes/themename/email-content.php');


// create email headers

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";                                   
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

The problem here Brad, is that your headers are broken and are being overwritten.

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

add the concatenates (dots)

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

Concatenates are like chain links. If one is missing or there are none, something won't "hold" or gets broken. ;-) so only the last line gets processed and ignores both the MIME and HTML declarations.

$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". ....

which is a valid declaration since it holds a valid From:, it's just that the Email isn't "formatted" the way you wanted it to be.

Did you specified that your email is in HTML in your $header ?

Here is an example :

 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
