Send HTML email

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

I am trying to send an HTML email using the following code, adapting some code I found on a tutorial site:-

 

<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = $email;
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Trade-Bidz Registration'; 
//create a boundary string. It must be unique 
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); 
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: registrations@trade-bidz.co.uk\r\nReply-To: registrations@trade-bidz.co.uk";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\""; 
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

 

The code processes, but no email is received, any idea what I am doing wrong/missed out?

Hi Guys

 

Sorry about the delay in posting the code

 

<?php
//connection
include_once('includes/connect_inc.php');
//declare variables from registration form
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$email=$_POST['user_name'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$trader=$_POST['trader'];
$address1=$_POST['address1'];
$address2=$_POST['address2'];
$address3=$_POST['address3'];
$address4=$_POST['address4'];
$address5=$_POST['address5'];
$postcode=$_POST['post_code'];
$contact_name=$_POST['contact_name'];
$vat_num='GB'.$_POST['vat_num'];
$mobile=$_POST['mobile'];
$phone_number=$_POST['phone'];
$subscribe=$_POST['subscribe'];
//add user to database
$add_user_sql=mysql_query("INSERT into `tbl_users` (`emailaddress`,`password`,`trader_name`,`address1`,`address2`,`address3`,`address4`,`address5`,`post_code`,`phone_number`,`mobile_number`,`vat_num`,`contact_name`,`account_status`) 
values ('$email',md5('$password'),'$trader','$address1','$address2','$address3','$address4','$address5','$post_code','$phone_number','$mobile','$vat_num','$contact_name','Active')");
$message="Thank you for registering with Trade-Bidz.co.uk";
//add to newsletter table if required
if($subscribe=="subscribe"){
$add_email_newsletter=mysql_query("INSERT into `tbl_subscribers` (`email`,`contact_name`,`trader`) values ('$email','$contact_name','$trader')");
$message=$message." You have been added to the distribution list, to receive Trade-Bidz updates.";
include_once('includes/emails/user_reg_inc.php');
}
}
?>

 

below is the code for the email

 

<?php
$subject = "Trade-Bidz Registration Confirmation";
$hash = md5(rand().time().rand());

$txt_message = "Older email clients will receive this message as default";
$html_message = "<h2>Hello from Wizecho!</h2><p>This is the actual email you will receive with <b>HTML</b> <i>formatting.</i></p>";

$headers = <<<WIZ
From: Trade-Bidz <registrations@trade-bidz.co.uk>
Reply-To: noreply@trade-bidz.co.uk
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="{$hash}"
WIZ;

$body = <<<WIZ
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="$hash"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--$hash
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="windows-1256"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

$txt_message
--$hash
Content-Type: text/html;
charset="windows-1256"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

$html_message

--$hash--
WIZ;

if(mail($email,$subject,$body,$headers)){

    echo "Email Sent";

}else{

    echo "Mail not sent";

} 

?>

 

I am not getting any email, is there anything wrong with the code?

 

Cheers

 

Mark
