.txt file instead of .email file?

Hi, i'm using a PHP mail script that uses a .email file, but my hosting does not allow for .email files. If I convert the .email file to a .txt file will it still work? Here is the script where the .email is used.


global $affiliate_link, $RETURN_url, $basedomain, $basedomain_withWWW, $FriendreferLink, $refNAME, $refEMAIL, $YourlastLink, $adminNAME, $adminemail, $YourlastLinkDIRECT, $bgColor, $showViralScriptAffiliateLink;
//$affiliate_link = preg_replace( "RAF", '$refEMAIL', $affiliate_link );
$affiliate_link= str_replace("RAF","$refEMAIL",$affiliate_link);
//$a = preg_replace( "RAF", '$refEMAIL', $a);
$a= str_replace("RAF","$refEMAIL",$a);
$FriendreferLink="$RETURN_url"."?refEMAIL=$email&refNAME=$firstname";


$filename="friend.email";
$message = file_get_contents($basedomain . $filename);
$message = str_replace( "~~firstname~~", $firstname, $message );
$message = str_replace( "~~affiliate_link~~", $affiliate_link, $message );
$message = str_replace( "~~refNAME~~", $refNAME, $message );
$message = str_replace( "~~refEMAIL~~", $refEMAIL, $message );
$message = str_replace( "~~FriendreferLink~~", $FriendreferLink, $message );

$from = $adminemail;
$to = $email;
$subject = "$firstname - Check this out, You gotta see this";
$body = $message;
$header="From:" . $from . "\r\n" ."Reply-To:". $from ;
mail($to,$subject,$body,$header);

} ## close function do_function


Thanks!

 

It should do yes.
