from the string?

 

What will the string contain? The binary image data, a path to a file, something else?

[RON_ron]

ofcourse the binary image data!

If its already image binary data then you shouldn't need to use imagecreatetruecolor.

 

Eg. If the binary data is a GIF

 

header('Content-type: image/gif');
echo $binary_data;
exit;

 

That should do it

what I need to do is to convert the string to a image and send it via email. I need you guys help to write the PHP script.

[maca134]

do you want to embed the image into the email or link it??

 

to link it, all you need to do is file_put_contents() to a lcation that is accessible to the web then link the image in the email "<img src='http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/img' />"

 

Embedding the image increase bandwidth on the server especially if your sending loads of emails.

 

The best thing to do for embedding is take a look on www.phpclasses.org and find a mime email class, will make your life much easier

Yes I want to have the converted image (string) as an attachment. Do I have to add headders to do this. Could you please alter the code so it converts the string in to a image and sent as a attachment?

 

This is my current code.

 

<?PHP

$to = "[email protected]";

 

$subject = "heading";

$headers = "From:" .$email."\r\n";

$message = "Name: " . $thename;

$message .= "\nCompany : " . $thecompany;

 

$sentOk = mail("$to",$subject,$message,$headers);

 

echo "sentOk=" . $sentOk;

?
