How can I save the code of my generated HTML page?-CodePudding

Let me explain the problem :

I'm going to get my data from my local db and then send it as an email to my subscribers, but in an email I can't send within the HTML code, a php script, there is no server to interpret it. The only solution that I have is to do all of the work (get data and stuff) and generate the output of it as an HTML code, by doing so I wouldn't have any script php or any other type of scripts; and then I'm going to use that generated HTML code to send it via a Sendy's API. But my question is how can I save that generated HTML code ? After some research I found that I can use the output buffering, but I don't know how to use it and where exactly I have to start/pause it.

Here is an exemple of my HTML code(it's just the strict minimal structure that's I'm going to use) :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <style type="text/css">* {
            box-sizing: border-box;
        }

        body {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body style="background-color: transparent; margin: 0; padding: 0; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; text-size-adjust: none;">
  <?php
    $username = "";
    $password = "";
    $hostname = "";
    $database="";
    $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
    $sql = "";
    $data = $conn->query($sql);
?>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"  role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt; background-color: transparent;" width="100%">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"  role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt;" width="100%">
                    <tbody>
                        <tr>
                        </tr>
                    </tbody>
                </table>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

PS : I would love to do this with Laravel 9 instead of php if it's possible

CodePudding user response：

To achieve this, you can use output buffering in the following way:

<?php

function callback($buffer)
{
  // $buffer is a string containing your html output
  $response = some_email_send_function($buffer);
  return $response;
}

ob_start("callback");

?>
