dadamssg87 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I plan on using mailchimp for my own marketing email campaigns but i'm wondering how you guys suggest doing one-time("transactional") emails? I've done some reading and it sounds like creating an html email that works/looks decent in most email clients is extremely annoying but i don't want to just send plain text emails. Do you use email templates from somewhere? code from scratch and hope for the best? just send plain text? other web-service api? I'm trying to develop a decent looking html email for account set-ups, receipts, forgotten passwords, etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245553-how-do-you-guys-send-emails/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
XpertWorlock Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Easy PHP class to send HTML e-mail. I was in the same boat and wanted a consistent design across all e-mails (forgotten passwords, etc). I'd suggest a trial run to yourself always to make sure it's working properly http://blog.hostgrenade.com/2011/07/31/php-email-class/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245553-how-do-you-guys-send-emails/#findComment-1264062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtiano77 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The link below has an email class for sending file attachments and with very little modification --change the "text/plain" to "text/html"-- you can send either type of e-mail format along with a file attachment. I used it as a template to create one for my site and it works very well. http://www.kavoir.com/2009/08/php-email-attachment-class.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245553-how-do-you-guys-send-emails/#findComment-1265021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
