Read HTML page and send it as email

[arlequin]

Hello, developers.

I have this [1] html page which uses css and images and want to send it as email where the recipients must be online in order to download the css and images.

I use the following code to read the page and show it, before sending the email...

<?php
$file = '../archivo/infomens/html/2006-05.html';
// open file
$fh = fopen($file, 'r') or die('Could not open file!');
// read file contents
$message = fread($fh, filesize($file)) or die('Could not read file!');
// close file
fclose($fh);
// print file contents
echo $message;
?>

... but stylesheet and images won't load and the rendered page shows only text.

Strange behaviour, trying with another page [2] I have no problem loading it into a variable and sending it by email.

To be honest, I'm suprised either works. You aren't specifying a content-type, and mail clients should treat your content as plain text by default.

You should be sending these pages as MIME email. And the best PHP library I know of for that is PHPMailer:

Actually I am sending it using the correct content-type and using PHPMailer.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

The problem was the relative and absolute links.
In the 1st example I was using relative links to images and style sheets. That was why didn't work.
