Hi Guys,

I'm in the middle of writing a rather large script and have been using smarty for the html side of it.

I'm trying to keep all forms of output seperate from the processing stuff...

However, Its got to the point where I need the script to send out a few emails with variables in them.

I don't want to hard-code these emails into the actual script, as this would defeat the object of smarty.

So, does anyone know a method of emailing a smarty template. Or some other form of emailing stuff from a seperate file?

Smarty is preferered however

Cheers

Great choice on using Smarty. I have been using it for a while (even used it when I developed the new Hotscripts released last September) and simply love it. What you are wanting to do is completely possible, all you need to do is instead of calling the display() method of the Smarty class, call the fetch() method.

More information can be found here:

Also, would mention that if I were you I would look into using the htmlMimeMail class (believe it's in PEAR) for email sending instead of PHP's mail() function even if you only sending plain text emails. It's mail sending is a lot more robust and flexible, so I would highly recommend it anytime your needing to send outbound mail.
