Hello.
I have a problem sending my Newsletter with the PHP mail function in CCS...
I have a HTML page, newsletter.php?user_id=xxx wich I would like to be sent to my website users, depending on the user_id parameter.
I first thougt it would be easy to send a simple HTML file composed this way :
<html>
<frameset rows="*">
<frame src="http://...../newsletter.php?user_id=xxx
</frameset>
</html>
... but unfortunately, the frame is hidden in most mailboxes... I tried with iframes too but it didn't work.
Would somebody here help me ? Thanks a lot.

Hello again. Here is the way i solved the problem described above...
I used this little function to get the HTML code that should be displayed by the user browser :
function PHPtoHTML ($url)
{
$sf = fopen($url, "r");
$str = "";
ob_start();
while( !feof($sf) )
{
$line = fgets($sf, 4096);
eval("$line = \"".addslashes($line)."\";");
$str .= stripslashes($line);
}
ob_end_clean();
return $str;
}
Then my script sends this $str (the HTML code) by mail to the user.
This is what is done for EACH user. As there are about 1000 users concerned, I fear this solution to be quite heavy ! Isn't there a better way ?
Yes ? No ?
Thanks a lot

We put the html code into our php file using EOT then fill an array with user e-mails
---------
$htm = <<<EOT
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>SomeDomain.com E-mail</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!-- blah - blah
</BODY>
</HTML>
EOT;
do
{
mail($userEmail, $subject, $htm, $headers);
}
while($userEmail = next($mailArray))

Ok, but doing things this way will prevent me from modifying my newsletter in CCS again...

If news letter is general to all users
than you dont need to parse page in every loop of 1000
put this
function PHPtoHTML ($url)
{
$sf = fopen($url, "r");
$str = "";
ob_start();
while( !feof($sf) )
{
$line = fgets($sf, 4096);
eval("$line = \"".addslashes($line)."\";");
$str .= stripslashes($line);
}
ob_end_clean();
return $str;
}
$str=PHPtoHTML ($url);//call function once before while loop
before while loop...
and echo only $str variable with every e-mail (e-mail body) ...

Unfortunately, the newsletter isn't general to all users...
