try using output buffering. In a php script put the following:
ob_start(); //everything following will be stored for output.
include 'your_page.php';
$body=ob_get_contents(); //store everything in output in $body variable
Then mail as usual. Your page will be the $body variable. If you want to
display the page as well use ob_end_flush(). If you just want to mail the
page use ob_end_clean() to clear the output buffering and continue scripting
for normal display.
check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php for more
information on output buffering. If you are still stuck email me off list
and I will send you a sample of a file that does the same thing for me.
