Hi Mike,
how do you planing to send HTML emails, is it a Remote web server or are you using our local machine's web server and PHP.
If it is a news paper day by day you have to change the headings and other elements. Is there any back end system to arrange those stuffs with out change the mail page manually.

And i need the script that you have completed so far.

I'm using a remote server.
Here's the script followed by the raw email content its generating.

<?php

/* CONNECT TO THE DB AND BUILD HASH OF EMAIL's*/

$root = $_SERVER[ROOT_CONTENT_FO LDER];

// Connect to email list db

$connection = mysql_connect(' db.townnews.com ', 'dinterlake', <?=$password? >) or die ('Unable to connect!');

mysql_select_db ('dailyinterlak e_com') or die ('Unable to select database');

$results = mysql_query("se lect * from cust_email_list WHERE avail = 'Y'");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_ass oc($results))
{
foreach($row as $key=>$val)
{
if(preg_match("/email/", "$key"))
{
$email_list[] .= $val;
}
}
}

/* BEGIN MESSAGE TO SEND */

$site = "http://www.dailyinterl ake.com/content/current";

$msg .= '<table width="80%"><tr ><td>';

$msg .= '<h3>THE DAILY INTER LAKE NEWS ALERT</h3>

/* BUILD CONTENT FOR EACH NEWS CATEGORY */

foreach(array(' breaking_news', 'news','law_rou ndup','sports', 'business','lif estyle', 'weather', 'traffic') as $folder)
{
$filenames = '';

$dir = $root . '/' . $folder;

/* OPEN CONTENT FOLDER ON SERVER */

if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
if(preg_match("/([a-zA-Z0-9])+.txt/", $file)) // Don't save non-text files
{
$filenames[] .= $file; // Add to filenames array
}
else if(preg_match("/([a-zA-Z0-9])+.jpg/", $file)) // If photo is availble, add to hash with text file as key
{
$key = preg_replace("/.jpg/", '.txt', $file); // photo file name is same as corresponding text file
$photos[$key] = $file;
}

}
}

if(!$filenames) // couldn't find any for this news category
{
continue;
}

sort($filenames );

/* CREATE NEWS HEADING AND ADD TO MESSAGE */
$fldr = strtoupper($fol der);

$msg .= "<h3>$fldr</h3>\n";

/* GET FILE CONTENTS FOR EACH FILE IN ARRAY */

foreach($filena mes as $file)
{

$filename = $dir . '/' . $file;

if(file_exists( "$filename" ))
{

$handle = fopen($filename , "r");
$content = fread($handle, filesize($filen ame));
fclose($handle) ;

$head = '';
$byline = '';
$kicker = '';
$teaser = '';

/* DETECT PRINCIPAL PARTS OF CONTENT (Heading, byline, kicker, teaser ) */

//Use XML tags if present
