include?

[Mark Jerzykowski]

I want to send an email using the mail command. I would like the message
parameter to be the contents of a text file. However, I want the text file
to use variables from within the program.

If I use join("", file($file_name )) the text file isn't evaluated ( $var is
printed as $var, not the contents of the variable).
If I use $message = include($file_n ame) I get $message = 1 and the text file
is output to the browser.

I believe there might be some way around this using %% perhaps. I can't
remember exactly.

Thanks for the ongoing help.

Re: include?

No need to write anything. I found the OB functions etc. Very useful.

Thanks.
