Hi,
I'm sending users an email with a form button which opens up one of my
pages which I'm hosting on my website. However when I go to include()
the files necessary for the PHP page to run it won't work.
Is there a way to include files outside the server by using an include
or alternative statement? I.e. include("http://www.mysite.co.uk/
functions.php")??
Thanks
A

I'm not sure I understand this. Why would they need any php files?
Why wouldn't a plain old HTML file work (assuming they have a mail client
that will use a web browser on an HTML file).

Hi Lars,
Sorry for the confusion. I've decided to use a link rather than a
button which opens the page properly.
Basically I had a submit button in the email - opened in Outlook -
click submit - but Outlook opens a temporary internet file rather than
the actual page. As a result, I wanted to build the temporary internet
file on the users computer but couldnt include the full links to the
files required.
Thanks though.

Why not have the button effect a link to the real page?
