[FX.php List] Creating HTML Mail with PHPMailer

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I'm a little stumped on what should be an easy issue.

I am implementing the project mentioned in an earlier email...allow 
my users to compose their own email on a php page and then send.

I'd like to set up a pre-determined header and footer section,and 
then insert the user compose content in the middle.  I just can't 
figure out how to successfully put the three together for phpmailer 
to send.  While I can do it easily by specifying the header and 
footer in the same script, I am having trouble "including"  the HTML 
code from an external file.  When I try and do so, I get 
"1UserContent1", where php is placing a "1" before and after the 
UserContent instead of the intended HTML code from the external files.


It looks like a boolean response, but I'n not sure to what.

I *could* just store the header and footer in the phpmail script and 
avoid the issue, but I really wanted the flexibility to mix and match 
headers and footers.

What am I doing wrong?

Jonathan
