 How do I let the user send the current html page they are on as the
message in an email?

I know how to send emails with php, but not how I let the current page
be the message.

I want to do this with code instead of asking the user to click menu
options in his browser.

Kind regards,

Jan Nordgreen

The simplest solution would be to send a "See this page: <link>"
message. Any specific reason why you would need more?

Depending on how dynamic the page is, by the time the link is viewed,
the contents may be different.

Capture the output in a buffer (see ob_start and its associated
functions) and use that in the email.

Maybe wrap it in a system call than runs the CLI version of php for the
same script and redirects to a file that you then load as the body of
email? I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it, but it's not
something I'd expect PHP to be able to handle all by itself because php
doesn't have any concept of "page" all by itself.
