Sending Html page as body of Mail in php with variable values

Question

I have an html page uploaded on my server as payment_receipt.html;

I am using phpmailer to send an emai. This receipt i have to send as body of the Email.

Simply

$Content = file_get_contents("somefile.html"))

can do the trick. However i need to set values like Amount, Client name etc. They are placed inside html as

<div class="customerName">Dear{Customer Name}</div>
            <div class="confirmation">This email confirms your purchase of following services:</div>

Etc.

How can i set these values in my html before sending it as a body of mail.?

If you're set on including a static page like that then look into str_replace() php.net/str_replace — rfoo

You can use str_replace and replace all those data within html which have {such_format} with values — Narendrasingh Sisodia

If you always know what the strings you need to replace will be, run a str_replace or similar on $Content

$Content = str_replace('{Customer Name}', $replacement_variable, $Content);

You can do it like this with multiple variables

$newText = str_replace(["{Name}", "{Adress}"], ["Charles", "Street X"], $oldText);
