I built this a few months ago to handle mail merges with a fixed defied
attachment and it seems to work for most email readers I have tried. It is
supposed to handle text email clients and MIME clients as well as per the
RFC's (It was templated from an outgoing email attachment from Microsoft
Outlook so it will probably screw something up somewhere).
The site variable is a class variable from an included file that contains
all sorts of default stuff.
class SITE {
var $mail_from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
var $mail_reply_to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
} // END SITE CLASS
The get page function
function get_page($page_name="") {
$return="";
if (file_exists($page_name))
$fp = fopen("$page_name","r");
$return .= fread($fp, filesize($page_name));
fclose($fp);
}
return $return;
}
The logger function is just a thing thats adds a record to a mysql table to
record the event for later use by my contact management/list procesing
system.
function
mail_it($subject,$mail_message,$mail_to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]",$mail_
attachment="",$from="",$reply_to="") {
global $site;
if ($from) { $mail_from="From:$from"; } else
$mail_from="From:".$site->mail_from; }
if ($reply_to) { $mail_reply_to="Reply-To:$reply_to"; } else
$mail_reply_to="Reply-To:".$site->mail_reply_to; }
$rand=md5(rand());
$boundary="----=_NextPart_000_$rand";
$boundary2="----=_NextPart_001_$rand";
$mail_headers = "$mail_from\n$mail_reply_to\n";
$mail_headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n
boundary=\"$boundary\"";
$mail_headers .= "\nX-Priority: 3 (Normal)\nX-Mailer: Walters And
Associates WCDS, Build 1.01\nImportance: Normal";
$mail_body = "";
$mail_body .= " This message is in MIME format. The first part
should";
$mail_body .= "be readable text,\n while the remaining parts are";
$mail_body .= "likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools.\n Send
mail";
$mail_body .= "to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information.\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary;
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n
boundary=\"$boundary2\"\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Type: text/plain;\n
charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= strip_tags($mail_message)."\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Type: text/html;\n
charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "$mail_message\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary2."--\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
if ($mail_attachment<>"") {
$content = get_page($mail_attachment);
if ($content) {
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary."\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n";
$mail_body .= " name=\"".basename($mail_attachment)."\"\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Description: \"Mail Attachment\"\n";
$mail_body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n";
$mail_body .= "
filename=\"".basename($mail_attachment)."\"\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= base64_encode($content)."\n\n";
}
}
$mail_body .= "--".$boundary."--\n";
if (mail($mail_to,"$subject",$mail_body,$mail_headers)) {
logger(1,"Mail Success","$subject To $mail_to",$mail_message);
return TRUE;
} else {
logger(9,"Mail Failure",$mail_to,$mail_body);
return FALSE;
}
}
Hope this Helps.
