html mail sent plain text

sniperscope · May 25, 2010

Dear gurus. Last for days i searched whole net (even here), but could not found correct answer.

i have a problem what i want to send HTML mail with embed an image (possibly multiple). But my code generates plain text mail.

Could you guys give me an idea or correct my mistakes where and what did i wrong?

Here is my code:

<?php
require_once('jcode.php');

$to = "myself@hotmail.com";

$subject = "=?iso-2022-jp?B?".base64_encode(mb_convert_encoding("...Japanese TEXT goes here...","JIS","SHIFT_JIS"))."?=";

$sep = sha1(date('r', time()));

$header = "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{' .$sep. '}\"";

$file =  chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('TEMP_Folder/abcd.gif')));

 $header .= "To: You <myself@hotmail.com>\r\n";
 $header .= "From: Me <info@example.com>\r\n";

 $body = '
 	--PHP-related-{$sep}
	Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="PHP-alt-{' .$sep. '}"

		--PHP-mixed-{' .$sep. '}
		Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-{' .$sep. '}"

			 --PHP-alt-{' .$sep. '}
			 Content-Type: text/plain
			 This is plain text

			 --PHP-alt-{' .$sep. '}
			 Content-Type: text/html
			 <html><head>
			 <title>Test HTML Mail</title>
			 </head>
			 <body>
			 <font color="red">This should be HTML but it doesnt work damn!!!</font> 
			 <img src="cid:PHP-CID-{' .$sep. '}" />
			 </body></html>
	 --PHP-related-{' .$sep. '}
	 Content-Type: image/gif
	 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
	 Content-ID: <PHP-CID-{' .$sep. '}>
	 {' .$file. '}';

 mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
?>

2 quick things,

1. $body as a extra return at the start, remove that,

2.

--PHP-related-{$sep}

should be

--PHP-related-{'.$sep.'}

fix them and try again, if it don't work I'll look closer

Dear MadTechie

I really appreciate for your interest.

Unfortunately, no thing was changed. It is still plain text

kenrbnsn · May 25, 2010

This line is incorrect:

<?php
$header = "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{' .$sep. '}\"";
?>

Try

<?php
$header = 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="PHP-mixed-{' . $sep . '}"';
?>

In outlook 2007 got same, but over internet (login to hotmail account) then appear blank mail.

MadTechie · May 25, 2010

Tested on outlook 2007 and the attached script works for me!

My dear friend, unfortunately, it is plain text on me.

this is screenshot What is going wrong i could not find.

MadTechie · May 25, 2010

Please use the previously attached file,

sniperscope · May 25, 2010

do you think, problem is on my mail server?

Your screen shots looks excelent

MadTechie · May 25, 2010

No, if the email is being sent then it should be okay.. it down to how the client parses the email,

Note how you seam to have extra lines,

The script I posted was tested on my windows machine,

I guess you could try changing the /r/n's to PHP_EOL

ie

$headers ="Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{$sep}\"\r\n";

// additional headers
$headers .= "To: You <$to>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Me <$from>\r\n";

]

to

$headers ="Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{$sep}\"".PHP_EOL;

// additional headers
$headers .= "To: You <$to>".PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "From: Me <$from>".PHP_EOL;

goldjothi · May 25, 2010

I really appreciate for your interest.

Unfortunately, no thing was changed. It is still plain text

sniperscope · May 25, 2010

Same to me... Don't know what else to do.

MadTechie · May 25, 2010

Wow,

Strange how within seconds of registering a member would post here and then signs out then the thread starter logs back in to reply!

I am not suggesting its the same member or anything (being in the same country doesn't prove anything) ::)

sniperscope · May 25, 2010

MadTechie

he/she is not me :D

sniperscope · May 31, 2010

Dear MadTechie

Thank you for your advice, my mail is now working. Will you have heart attack if i say i have a tiny problem which is my ISP's mail account works perfect but site's mail address fail and turn into plain text.

ie:

sniperscope@my-isp.ne.jp <--- OKAY !!! HTML mail

sniperscope@hosting.co.jp <-- This mail turn into plain text. same code, same server, same file but turn into plain text just changing mail address.
