the page i want to include in the email looks like this

<table width="900" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">
    <tr>
        <td height="95" colspan="2" scope="col"><img src="layout/BroadsheetSample/broadhead.jpg" width="900" height="150" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td height="25" colspan="2" scope="col"><span class="title"><?php echo ($broad_topictitle1); ?></span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <th width="23%" height="200" scope="col"><div align="left">
            <p>

					<?php
						
					$query = "SELECT broad1 FROM images_broad";
					$result=mysql_query($query);

					while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
					echo '<img src="'.$row['broad1'].'"/>';
					}
						      
					?>
			
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
        </div></th>
        <td width="77%" scope="col"><table width="99%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
                <td align="left" valign="top"><span class="mainTxt"><?php echo  ($broad_messagebody1); ?></span></td>
                <!-- End Image 1 -->
            </tr>
        </table>
        <p>&nbsp;</p>
        <p>&nbsp;</p>
        <p>&nbsp;</p>
        <p>&nbsp;</p>
        <p>&nbsp;</p></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td height="28" colspan="2" scope="col"><span class="title"><?php echo ($broad_topictitle2); ?></span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <th height="95" scope="col"><div align="left">
            		<?php
						
					$query = "SELECT broad2 FROM images_broad";
					$result=mysql_query($query);

					while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
					echo '<img src="'.$row['broad2'].'"/>';
					}
					
						      
					?>
            <p><br />
            </p>
        </div></th>
        <td scope="col"><table width="99%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
                <tr>
                    <td align="left" valign="top"><span class="mainTxt"><?php echo ($broad_messagebody2); ?></span></td>
                    <!-- End Image 1 -->
                </tr>
				
            </table>
                <p>&nbsp;</p>
                <p>&nbsp;</p>
                <p>&nbsp;</p>
                <p>&nbsp;</p>
                <p>&nbsp;</p></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2" scope="col"><img src="layout/BroadsheetSample/broadfoot.jpg" width="900" height="150" /></td>
    </tr>
    
    <tr>
        <td height="13" colspan="2" scope="col"><div align="justify"><span class="style1">Linacre Voice is a monthly bulletin from LinacreOne Community Partnership 140-142 Linacre Road Litherland L21 8JU Tel: (0151) 922 4898 Open Monday - Thursday 10:00am - 4:00pm <font size="\&quot;1\&quot;"></font></span> </div></td>
    </tr>
</table>

this is just the body of the page and the same with the next code only the body was copied over

and the code i have for the send email page looks like this

<div class="register"> To register another user to Mercury &copy; &reg;<br />
    click <a href="join_form.php">here</a> <br/>
</div>
<div class="logout">
    <form method='post' action='logout.php'>
        <input type='submit' value='logout' name='logout' />
    </form>
</div>

<?php
// construct mailing list array
$merc_list = explode(",",$merc_mailingList);

// deploy the emails
for($i=0; $i<count($merc_list); $i++){

$myFile = "broad_prev.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'rb');
$message = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));
fclose($fh);


	
	// Contacts
	$replyName = "$merc_replyId";
	$replyEmail = "$merc_replyAddress";

	$contactname = "";
	$contactemail = "$merc_list[$i]";

	// Subject
	$subject = "$merc_messageTitle";

	// Headers
	$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
	$headers .= "From: ".$replyName." <".$replyEmail.">\r\n";
	$headers .= "To: ".$contactname." <".$contactemail.">\r\n";

	mail($contactemail, $subject, $message, $headers);
	 }// END for

?>
<div class="fixed2"><img src="admin/images/content_header.gif" alt="content header" width="648" height="281" class="fixed2" /></div><div class="fixed1"><img src="admin/images/navbg.gif" alt="nav bg" width="152" height="600" /></div>
<div class="fixed5">
    <div id="data">
	<?php echo date('l dS F Y h:i:s A'); ?>
	    
    <p><?php printf("Mercury has successfully sent out %d broadcasts.<br />
		 <BUTTON onclick=\"window.close();\">close this window</BUTTON>
		 ", count($merc_list)); ?>
	</div>
</div>

i originally tried to hard code the page into the send email page but was unablke to get mysql to work it would only display straight html.

is it possible to use the include function but set the included file to be the value of the variable $message if it can be done and it works they way i want it should send the contents of the page in the message as the variable message is sent as the message???

i might be wrong. (i do try tho)

the code in the post above only sends the semi colons through from the the end of the mysql statements on the preview page. nothing else is sent through.
