Sending Web Page through Email in php

Question

as in asp we have function to send complete web page in email, which basically save lot of time for developer in creating & sending email

see the following code

     <%
    Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
    myMail.From="[email protected]"
    myMail.To="[email protected]"
    myMail.CreateMHTMLBody "mywebpage.html",cdoSuppressNone
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing
    %>

as we know that CreateMHTMLBody will get data from mywebpage.html and send it as a body of email.

i want to know does any function like (CreateMHTMLBody) this is available in php ?

if Not can we crate any function if yes, please give me some hints.

Thanks

Example below:

<?
    if(($Content = file_get_contents("somefile.html")) === false) {
        $Content = "";
    }

    $Headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $Headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
    $Headers .= "From: ".$FromName." <".$FromEmail.">\n";
    $Headers .= "Reply-To: ".$ReplyTo."\n";
    $Headers .= "X-Sender: <".$FromEmail.">\n";
    $Headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; 
    $Headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; 
    $Headers .= "Return-Path: <".$FromEmail.">\n";  

    if(mail($ToEmail, $Subject, $Content, $Headers) == false) {
        //Error
    }
?>

To add to Erik's answer, if you want to import a local (or remote!) file instead of specifying the HTML in the code itself, you can do this:

// fetch locally
$message = file_get_contents('filename.html');

// fetch remotely
$message = file_get_contents('http://example.com/filename.html');
