通过PHPMailer发送PHP生成的HTML

Question

I'm trying to setup PHPMailer to send e-mails that consist mostly from PHP generated HTML (ie dynamic tables made with data from a database, inside functions and even different classes). However most examples I've seen only have this method for adding content to the email body:

$mail->Body = $body;

which seems easy to implement for simple content and/or strings but not dynamic PHP content.

Is there some kind of way of adding content to the e-mail body by chunks or perhaps an entire PHP page? It seems like a really stupid question but I can't quite find a way to do it...

Answer 1

You can generate the content and put it in to a buffer string , then, you can set the body of PHPMailer with this.

Here an example:

ob_start();

// Include a file here or insert the code that generate the HTML
// Example
include('page.php');

$body = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$mail->Body = $body;
