Question

I have a php page which shows an entire time schedule for a user in html table format.
this page is generated when the user is selected from a drop down and a search is run

Now, I would like the functionality for this entire page to be emailed to the user when a button is clicked

user’s email address is stored in a mysql information table and all users have a primary user_id associated with them

I am looking for a script which allows a page to be emailed, along with some text content. the script will also retrieve the email address of the user from database

How can this be done?

UPDATE: I FOUND AN EASY WAY, ON THE PHP PAGE WHERE THIS SCHEDULE IS SHOWN IN TABLE FORMAT, I POSTED A LINK TO ANOTHER PHP PAGE.
WHEN CLICKED IT RETRIEVES THE SAME DATA FROM DATABASE, ALONG WITH EMAIL ADDRESS OF USER (BASED ON USER_ID STORED IN SESSION VARIABLE) AND EMAILS THE ENTIRE DATA IN PROPERLY FORMATTED HTML TABLE FORMAT TO THE USER.. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE ELSE LOOKING FOR SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY

Answer 1

You can use file_get_contents() to make a request for the page you want, and then email it.

$url = "get_email_data.php?id=" . $user_id;
$data = file_get_contents($url);

$email_body = "This is some other text <br/>" . $data;

//DO EMAIL STUFF RIGHT HERE SENDING $email_body AS THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE
