Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : Pre filled message text in out look express

[saghir69]

I need to send emails to my clients with info from my site. The emails are one at a time.

The info is pretty generic and I can sort what needs to go where in PHP.
At the momment I can pre fill the to and subject fields.

But is there a way to pre fill the message of the email from a php genarated web page.

Does anyone know if this can be done?

If contents of the email will be HTML, you can use CURL, file_get_contents or fsockopen to read the .php page and send the returning data as the email body.

Isn't it easier to use the PEAR mail functions? Can just send emails with PHP then from the same email.

<a href="mailto:user@host.com?subject=Pre filled form&body=The message's first paragraph.%0A%0aSecond paragraph.%0A%0AThird Paragraph.">Click here to email this user</a>

%0A is a new line. %0A twice is a new paragraph.

Thanks Adam, thats what I was after.

Do you know how I can enter a * as a bullet point at the start of each line?

Or how to format a list of bullet point items?
