php require_once function

Feb 26.2010

Trying to send an email using PHP/SQL to 190 people in a table. The email is an html file.

It throws an error when I do this:

[CODE]<?php
$to = “[email protected]”;
$subject = “$firstname, You are invited to attend this summit”;

$msg = require_once(“http://www.website.ca/email.html”);

mail($to, $subject, $msg, “From: BCPLAN <[email protected]>”)
?>[/CODE]

Error:
Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/b/c/p/[I]website[/I]/html/page.php on line 20

Warning: require_once([url]http://www.website.com/email.html[/url]) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/content/b/c/p/website/html/invite.php on line 20

@NogDogFeb 26.2010 — There is no reason to require it.
[code=php]
$msg = file_get_contents('email.html');
[/code]
Preferably the file should be on the same server, so that you do not need to get by URL but by a local relative or absolute path.

@realmuffinauthorFeb 26.2010 — Thank you, that solved that problem!

now my problem is that the email that I receive shows up with no formatting and I see all the html tags.. how do I make it so that the receiving email client processes the html tags instead of displaying them as plain text? (I'm guessing it has something to do with headers?)

THANK YOU!
