Okay..... I'm gonna sum up what I want to do cause it will make it
pretty simple for you guys to understand.
Here we go:
I have a form that posts data to a PHP mailer page I have created. When
it goes to the PHP mailer page it reads some of the data and modifies
the page accordingly using Javascript (hiding certain divs, etc...). My
goal, is to take all this data after it has been processed by
Javascript and send it through my PHP mailer as it is currently
formatted.
If it helps any, the track I am on right now involves encapsulating the
Javascript processed block in a div. I am then trying to take the
..innerHTML data from that div and store it in the PHP $message variable
for my mailer. This won't work because PHP is server side. So, I moved
on to generate some Javascript code (with PHP) that sends all that
messy HTML data that its processed through a URL variable to then be
read by PHP. This doesn't really accomplish what I want as it cuts off
about a quarter of the way through my data......
Any ideas??
One thing I thought of but don't know how to do or whether it's even
possible is using PHP to view the source of the current page and store
that as the HTML to be e-mailed. Or, is it possible to do something
similar to .innerHTML with PHP?
Well, Thanks in advance everyone! I've been up for the past 4 hours
trying to figure this out and I rarely post on message boards. You guys
are my last hope before I'm forced to settle for sending the text
unformatted and messy :( 3 3955 jo*********@gmail.com wrote:

And what happens if the user has js disabled?

Forget the js. Do your work server-side.

Nope. As you noted, PHP is server side, not client side.

No, it's not possible to view the source with PHP. However, you
generated the source - so you should know what it is. And you can
buffer your output - see ob_start(), etc. - and use it later.
Not knowing exactly what you're trying to do, it's impossible to say if
you're on the right track or not. But it seems to be needlessly
complicated.

I think that part of your problem is that the hidden divs still contain
data. Rather than hiding them, set their innerHTML to an empty string.
As far as the rest, you will need to make sure that the page only
contains the data you want to be part of the email (using JavaScript or
whatever, though I tend agree with Johnny that you should avoid
JavaScript unless you have a built in server-side alternative) before
submitting it to the mailer.
you don't say how much of this page is entered by the user and how much
is 'static' text and how much is generated from a user profile.
Could you store the bits of text you want in the email and on the web
page as either database entries or static text and make your script
simply build the string together from the static text. If you wanted
to, you could build two strings, one for web page display and one for
email display inside a function and simply include the email display
string in the form as a hidden field.
just a thought.
