Sending an email from local host with file atachment HELP needed

Hi i am new to PHP scripts but am learning fast.

 

I have apache, PHP and pear installed and am trying to send an email with a .jpg file attatched.

 

I have just about managed to do this with a lot of searching on the net.

 

HOWEVER, the receiving mail does not display the picture, (example@yahoo.com) it displays

a blank thumbnail. If I send the same message, from the same email to the same email from

outlook the receiving mail displays the picture as a thumbnail.

 

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ???

 

Can anyone solve this problem.  Here is the code I found to use.  THANK YOU.

 

 

Using Pear mail.php  and mime.php

 

 

 

<?php

require_once "c:/php/pear/mail/Mail.php"; // PEAR Mail package

require_once ('c:/php/pear/mime/mime.php'); // PEAR Mail_Mime packge

 

$from = "info@*******.com";

$to = "example@yahoo.com";

$subject = 'Picture from info@******.com';

 

$headers = array ('From' => $from,'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject);

 

$text = 'Text version of email';// text and html versions of email.

//$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email. <strong>This should be bold</strong></body></html>';

 

$file = 'C:/pics/testpic1.jpg'; // attachment

$crlf = "\n";

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);

$mime->setTXTBody($text);

$mime->setHTMLBody($html);

$mime->addAttachment($file, 'text/plain');

 

//do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order

$body = $mime->get();

$headers = $mime->headers($headers);

 

//Smtp email authentication

 

$host = "mail.*******.com";

$username = "info@*******.com";

$password = "**********";

 

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'auth' => true,

'username' => $username,'password' => $password));

 

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

 

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {

  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");

}

else {

  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");

}

?>

Thanks for that. No is not that.

 

If i send from  email1@*****.com to  email2@yahoo.com  via the PHP code then no picture is displayed, it is a blank thumbnail.

but the image can be downlaoded.

 

 

If i send from  email1@*****.com to  email2@yahoo.com  via outlook, then the picture is displayed in the receiving mail.

 

Confusing the H*** out of me.
