I'd like to use Sendgrid WebAPI preferably without SMTP or Swiftmailer using the code below. Is it possibly to pass an entire dynamic webpage to the 'html' $params array without creating a long string variable and needing to escape every quote and echo each variable? Each email varies significantly so Sendgrid's template/mailmerge options will not work for me. Thanks!
Here's a simple html example (mine has much more dynamic content):
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>Hi I'm <?php echo $name; ?>!<br>
<span style="color: #999999; font-size: 11px;">How are you?</span><br>
</p>
</body>
</html>
$url = 'http://sendgrid.com/';
$user = 'USERNAME';
$pass = 'PASSWORD';
$params = array(
'api_user' => $user,
'api_key' => $pass,
'to' => 'example3@sendgrid.com',
'subject' => 'testing from curl',
'html' => 'testing body',
'text' => 'testing body',
'from' => 'example@sendgrid.com',
);
$request = $url.'api/mail.send.json';
// Generate curl request
$session = curl_init($request);
// Tell curl to use HTTP POST
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// Tell curl that this is the body of the POST
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
// Tell curl not to return headers, but do return the response
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// obtain response
$response = curl_exec($session);
curl_close($session);
// print everything out
print_r($response);
The best way to generate the HTML you need would be to use a template engine like Smarty. So in your example, somewhere above actually sending the email, you would do something like:
include('Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('name', 'Swift');
$smarty->assign('name', 'SendGrid');
$smarty->assign('address', '123 Broadway');
// Store it in a variable
$emailBody = $smarty->fetch('some_dynamic_template.tpl');
And then when you actually need to send the email with the new dynamic HTML body:
....
$params = array(
'api_user' => $user,
'api_key' => $pass,
'to' => 'example3@sendgrid.com',
'subject' => 'testing from curl',
'html' => $emailBody,
'from' => 'example@sendgrid.com',
);
....

In the same case SMTP API is easier by using substitution tags, more details : http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/SMTP_API/substitution_tags.html
