jasonc Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 i wish to add images in to the actually email instead of have them access via the server each time. i am using the following sendmail() function and wondered if anyone knows if this has a method of doing that or can anyone suggest a method that allows me to do this. at the moment i use the <img...> to hotlink to the images but with to stop using this method. i still want to form my emails using HTML <?php /* this class encapsulates the PHP mail() function. implements CC, Bcc, Priority headers @version 1.3 - added ReplyTo( $address ) method - added Receipt() method - to add a mail receipt - added optionnal charset parameter to Body() method. this should fix charset problem on some mail clients @example $m= new Mail; // create the mail $m->From( "leo@isp.com" ); $m->To( "destination@somewhere.fr" ); $m->Subject( "the subject of the mail" ); $message= "Hello world!\nthis is a test of the Mail class\nplease ignore\nThanks."; $m->Body( $message); // set the body $m->Cc( "someone@somewhere.fr"); $m->Bcc( "someoneelse@somewhere.fr"); $m->Priority(4) ; // set the priority to Low $m->Attach( "/home/leo/toto.gif", "image/gif" ) ; // attach a file of type image/gif //alternatively u can get the attachment uploaded from a form //and retreive the filename and filetype and pass it to attach methos $m->Send(); // send the mail echo "the mail below has been sent:<br><pre>", $m->Get(), "</pre>"; @author Saravanan(winsaravanan@yahoo.com,ssaravanan@teledata-usa.com) */ class Mail { /* list of To addresses @var array */ var $sendto = array(); /* @var array */ var $acc = array(); /* @var array */ var $abcc = array(); /* paths of attached files @var array */ var $aattach = array(); /* list of message headers @var array */ var $xheaders = array(); /* message priorities referential @var array */ var $priorities = array( '1 (Highest)', '2 (High)', '3 (Normal)', '4 (Low)', '5 (Lowest)' ); /* character set of message @var string */ var $charset = "us-ascii"; var $ctencoding = "7bit"; var $receipt = 0; var $content_type='text/html'; /* Mail contructor */ function Mail() { $this->autoCheck( true ); $this->boundary= "--" . md5( uniqid("myboundary") ); } function Content_type($contenttype){ $this->content_type=$contenttype; //echo $this->content_type; //echo '<br>'; //exit(); } /* activate or desactivate the email addresses validator ex: autoCheck( true ) turn the validator on by default autoCheck feature is on @param boolean $bool set to true to turn on the auto validation @access public */ function autoCheck( $bool ) { if( $bool ) $this->checkAddress = true; else $this->checkAddress = false; } /* Define the subject line of the email @param string $subject any monoline string */ function Subject( $subject ) { $this->xheaders['Subject'] = strtr( $subject, "\r\n" , " " ); } /* set the sender of the mail @param string $from should be an email address */ function From( $from ) { if( !

bubbasheeko Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You are attaching them to the email, that is why you are seeing that happen. If you want it in the body of the image. No matter what the receiver will have to grab the image from the server. You can't just 'embed' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
