Re: [PHP] Re: Send HTML/plain text email using PHP

[Matt MacLeod]

OK, I managed to find a script that appears to work (at least for me  
and a few other people, anyway).

The only thing is that if you look at the raw source of the email it  
comes out as nonsense.  eg:

CgoKRU1BSUwKCgoKCgoKCgoKCgpMb25kb24gMjEgTmV3c2xldHRlcgpGT1IgQUNUSU9OIElO 
IFRI
RSBDT01NVU5JVFkKCiZuYnNwOwpOZXdzbGV0dGVyIC0gSXNzdWUgMTggLSBNYXkgMjAwNAoK 
U29t
ZSBpbXBvcnRhbnQgZGF0ZXMgZm9yIHlvdXIgZGlhcnkgaW4gTG9uZG9uIDIxknMgVXBkYXRl 
IGJl
bG93IG9uIDQsIDUgYW5kIDYgSnVuZSBmb3Ig

I've looked at the raw source for other HTML/multipart emails in my in  
box and it displays the html code.

There's obviously somehting in there that I've missed. It's frustrating  
because it works fine when I receive the messages on my mac!!!

news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've been having a little trouble configuring a script to send a
multipart email using PHP.
The script send the message, but when I recieve the email it doesn't
display the HTML version and I have to tell my mail client to displlay
the plain text version (Mail on OS X 10.3.3).
Here's the script:
$headers .= "FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$nonhtml = strip_tags($emailsend);
// This is the important part!
// This content type identifies the content of the message.
// The boundary delimits the plain text and html sections.
// The value of the boundary can be anything - you can even use the
same one we used here
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"----=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0\"\n\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()."\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers .= "Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
// Now begin your message, starting with the delimiter we specified in
the boundary
// Notice that two extra dashes (--) are added to the delimiters when
// They are actually being used.
$message = '------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
';
$message .= $nonhtml;
$message .='
';
// Now begin your HTML message, starting with the delimiter
// Also notice that we add another content-type line which
// lets the mail client know to render it in HTML
$message .= '------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
';
$message .= $emailsend.'
------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0--';
// Now send the mail.
// The additional header, "-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]" is only required  
by
// some configurations.

echo $message;
$v = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
mail($v, "Test", $message ,$headers,"-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

Any ideas would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Matt
