i'd like to have an online form in PHP that allows me to upload an HTML file and put THAT into the message body of the sent email...does that make sense? the closest thing i can come up with as an example would be a newsletter - you have a newsletter in HTML, but you want to send it to the newsletter email list...it exists on the web (http://www.yoursite.com/newsletter/20071106.html) and you want to embed the HTML into the message body, but just by putting the URL into the upload area of the form

does any of that make sense? it seems to me that it would be pretty easy, but i don't know how to extract the code from the HTML file itself and insert it into the $body of the PHP form to be sent...i've done this as attaching the HTML file to the email, and that works for clients like thunderbird (those that, by default, display attachments in the body of the email)...but not for some other clients

$body = file_get_contents("filename");

have a big ass text field

copy and paste the html from the file into it

read from $_GLOBALS['your_form_field_name']

set $body = the above

voila

^^ i'll try that out

^ yeah, that's the surefire way to do it, but i'm trying to make this as easy as possible and code will scare the person who's doing this (the secretary at my church)...she understands the upload explorer box, and understands that she can put a URL into the box to have it pull the newsletter from its posted place on the church website
