php email whole page

Sorry if this question seems basic i am fairly new to php. i have a html form that when completed it sends them to a php page for them to verify the information. I am trying to make a link at the bottom of the php page that will e-mail the entire page to me. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I can send the page as a link, but because of the nature of the page when the link is selected it the input data is not there. The best solution would be to have the page embeded into the body of the e-mail. I though a link to the pages I am working on might be helpful [url]h1.ripway.com/bhenry/consent1.html[/url]

You need to send the gererated data (after submittion)... right ? So... that's all you need to do!

I need the generated data i.e. user imputs, but i also need the legal language that is at the top of the page.

If you really want to send the exact page, I suggest you use this:

Code: Select all: <?php ob_start(); ?> <html> <body> Build your page here... </body> </html> <?php $pageContent = ob_get_clean(); echo $pageContent; mail("me@myemail.com", "form submit", $pageContent, "Content-type: text/html\n"); ?>

Coditor- Where would I put the submit button? Do i change the form action to mailto?

This would work without a submit button. It would e-mail the data to you as soon as the user sees the resultpage.

If you really want to use a submit button, add hidden fields for all the data and an extra hidden field (eg <input type="hidden" name="printthis" value="yes" />) and submit again to the same page as you are.

Change line 13 to:

Code: Select all: if (isset(_POST{"printthis"}) && _POST{"printthis"} == "yes") { mail("me@myemail.com", "form submit", $pageContent, "Content-type: text/html\n"); }
