Alternatively - put all of your contents in one file, each with it's own
function, i.e.

function emailtext1 ($param1, $param2) {
$str = ... // Build one message here
return $str;
}

function emailtext2 ($param1, $param2) {
$str = ... // Build another message here
return $str;
}

switch ($emailparm) {
case 'content1':
$email_content = emailtext1($email_param11, $email_param2);
break;
case 'content1':
$email_content = emailtext2($email_param11, $email_param2);
break;
}

Or, if you are just including one file - you just need one function and
send it your params.
