使用PHP通过电子邮件发送动态创建的html内容

Question

I'm making a simple todo list: http://jsbin.com/pemeqeni/1/edit?html,output

I want to be able to email myself the list, and I'm wondering how to do this with PHP specifically. I thought about scraping the HTML with DOMdocument, but I think that will only get the content from the static HTML page, which will never have list items. My other idea is to dynamically create a bunch of hidden input fields in the emailForm and dynamically delete them just as I do with the list items. Are there any other options? What's the standard protocol for something like this?

Answer 1

Something like this should work for getting all list elements.

<script>
function getEachListElement() {
   var testList = document.getElementsByClassName("todoBody");
   for (var i = 0; i < testList.length; i++) {
       document.writeln(testList[i].innerHTML);
   }
}
</script>

Try it out by changing your form action to this

<form name="emailForm" method="GET" action="JavaScript:getEachListElement()">

Then you can just create a string that you pass to PHP to email to yourself.

Answer 2

Have you tried the php mail function?

ie

<?
mail( $email, $subject , $text );
?>

Instead of get I would use post then set up a php script you call where you put your values(strings) into variables using $_post and use the mail function to mail those variables(strings).

just to be more clear your html would look like this

<form name="emailForm" method="POST" action="getContent.php">
                <input type="text" name="email" value="email"><input type="submit" value="send">
            </form>

Your getContent.php would then look like this

<?

$myemail = "myemail@tada.com";
$email = $_POST["email"];

mail ($myemail, 'The shiz you wanted', $email);

?>
