Email Search and replace email templates(.html) Looping - php

I have a question regarding loops within an email template. My current email library gets passed an array of data and a template(.html) to search and replace. This works fine if I just need to replace any element wrapped in a square bracket [variable] . My library however can not deal with arrays of data(looping) and I need a more elegant solution than the ugly approach below
Cheers.

Ugly Approach for non-defined templates
Note: sorry about poor formating here...
Instead of using a pre-made template, I have to pass a template on the fly so I can run a foreach loop with the data

Edit: Answer Thanks to landons,
if ($order->update_attributes($update_order)) {
$output = $this->load->view('orders/email', array(
'data' => $somedata

if (Mailer::sendIt($output, '', $user->email, 'Purchase Confirmation: #' . $order->order_sku . '', false)) {

Have you considered simply passing data to a view (and returning the content, rather than displaying it)?

Codeigniter emailing - adding BCC

I'm new so please bear with me.
I am trying to add a BCC recipient to one of codeigniter applications' email.php config file. The original was created by an employee who has since left our business and I am struggling to add a bcc recipient into the code.
I have searched stackoverflow and tried endless variations but I am not having any luck. All I want to do is define one bcc email recipient.
I would really really really appreciate anybody's help :)
Here is a portion of the the current code I think is relevant:

Go to the above link to see the results. Specifically, I'm interested in this error message:
Exception thrown trying to access Zend/Loader.php using 'use_include_path' = true.
Make sure you include Zend Framework in your include_path which currently contains:
.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php
Here is the link to my php info printout: http://www.jarodmorris.com/cms/phpinfo.php
I've obtained the Zend Framework from the zend website and uploaded it to a /zend folder on my website. For whatever reason, my host won't give me access to the php.ini file. I have purchased a reseller account with my host.
I'm doing all of this because I want to integrate Google Calendar API into an application I'm building on one of my websites. Maybe there is a simpler solution to my ultimate goal, but I don't see it.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
EDITED TO SHOW CURRENT PHP CODE WHERE INCLUDE IS CONCERNED:

Zend link helper exists?

Some other frameworks have a link helper like output_link('anchor', 'destination'); to replace the need to type into the template. Does Zend have something similar? and do I have to declare the link in the action first before I can use it in the viewer?
Zend_View_Helper_Url can generate URL in view, take a look on its API doc
http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/core/Zend_View/Helper/Zend_View_Helper_Url.html
I am not sure if Zend has this, but all you would need to do is create your own outputLink in the View Helper (applications/views/helpers/) and set it up how you want to, should be pretty trivial.
class Zend_View_Helper_OutputLink extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
public function outputLink($anchor, $description)
{
return '' . $description . '';
}
}
Just modify it how you want to. And you would call it in your view like below:
<span><?php $this->outputLink('test.html', 'Test Me!'); ?> </span>
Here's my anchor element view helper for zend. You need to use my image element view helper or remove the part of the code that uses it in case you don't like it. Of course, you're free to modify name and whatever else you wish.
require_once 'Zend/View/Helper/HtmlElement.php';
class Ecoweb_View_Helper_AnchorElement extends Zend_View_Helper_HtmlElement {
/**
*
* #param string $url
* #param string $content
* #param array|string $attribs
* #return string
*/
public function anchorElement($url, $content = '', $attribs = null)
{
if (is_array($url)) {
$reset = isset($url[2]) ? $url[2] : false;
$encode = isset($url[3]) ? $url[3] : false;
$url = $this->view->url($url[0], $url[1], $reset, $encode);
} else {
$url = $this->view->baseUrl($url);
}
if (is_array($attribs)) {
$attribs = $this->_htmlAttribs($attribs);
} else {
$attribs = empty($attribs) ? '' : ' '.$attribs;
}
if (is_array($content) && isset($content['src'])) {
$src = $content['src'];
$alt = isset($content['alt']) ? $content['alt'] : null;
$imgAttribs = isset($content['attribs']) ? $content['attribs'] : array();
$content = $this->view->imgElement($src, $alt, $imgAttribs);
}
$content = empty($content) ? $url : $this->view->escape($content);
$xhtml = '<a '
. 'href="'.$url.'"'
. $attribs
. '>'
. $content
. '</a>';
return $xhtml;
}
}
Here's the image element view helper:
<?php
require_once 'Zend/View/Helper/HtmlElement.php';
class Ecoweb_View_Helper_ImgElement extends Zend_View_Helper_HtmlElement {
/**
*
* #param string $src
* #param string $alt
* #param array|string $attribs
* #return string
*/
public function imgElement($src, $alt = '', $attribs = null)
{
$src = $this->view->baseUrl($src);
if (is_array($attribs)) {
$attribs = $this->_htmlAttribs($attribs);
} else {
$attribs = empty($attribs) ? '' : ' '.$attribs;
}
$alt = $this->view->escape($alt);
$xhtml = '<img '
. 'src="'.$src.'" '
. 'alt="'.$alt.'"'
. $attribs
. $this->getClosingBracket();
return $xhtml;
}
}
Use cases:
echo $this->anchor('/mycontroller/myaction');
// output: /mycontroller/myaction
echo $this->anchor('/mycontroller/myaction', 'My anchor content', 'rel="nofollow"');
// output: My anchor content
echo $this->anchor('/mycontroller/myaction', 'My anchor content', 'rel="nofollow"');
// output: My anchor content
// when baseUrl is http://mydomain.com
echo $this->anchor(array(array('controller' => 'mycontroller', 'action' => 'myaction'), 'myroute'), 'My anchor content', array('rel' => 'nofollow'));
// output: My anchor content
echo $this->anchor('/mycontroller/myaction', array('src' => '/uploads/myimag.png'));
// output: <img src="/uploads/myimag.png" alt="">
// when you have an html doctype
echo $this->anchor('/mycontroller/myaction', array('src' => '/uploads/myimag.png', 'alt'=>'My alt text', array('width' => '100')));
// output: <img src="/uploads/myimag.png" alt="My alt text" width="100" />
// when you have an xhtml doctype
Well, Zend's url helper kind of thing kinda sucks. This is the only thing that pains me while developing apps in zend. In Codeigniter url helper used to come very handy. Zend has very limited resources in case of this. I had to port CI's url helper to use in my Zend Apps. And moreover, Symfony doesn't have that many helper methods like CI has and I'm not sure why.
No, you have to make one.
