setting a variable with render partial

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Do you know I can set a variable $content with renderPartial?

E.g $content = $this->renderPartial("MyFancyPage.php")

2

renderPartial


$this->renderPartial('MyFancyPage',array('variable'=>$foo));
3

Use the final parameter to renderPartial():




$content = $this->renderPartial('view', array(), true);

Keith, Thank you so much, it works!! but when I try to email the contents , the format is completely different,

echo $content gives me the following out put >>>> 6086

But the same $content, if I try to email, I get it in some other format as >>> 6087

How is it different when I echo the contents and then different when I send it across?

How have you included the CSS rules on the page?

Below is part of HTML which is rendered, you can see that I have actually hardcoded the css , strangely it shows me no formatting in the email … even if I am sending html.

I suspect that your style sheets aren’t loading in the email client. I don’t have much experience of sending email with complex CSS, but I would suggest you look into best practices for achieving that.

Thanks Keith

Infact, even if I put a simple stylesheet , it shows difference…
