multipart mail not sending correctly

I am trying to send a basic email that is multipart via the mail() function in php. I am not interested in using PHPmail. This should be very light weight.

 

Currently when I send email to gmail, it is sending the html part as plain text so all the tags are showing.

 

Here is my code:

//GET VAR INPUT
$to = htmlentities($_GET['to']);
$friendly_from = htmlentities($_GET['friendly_from']);
$email_from = htmlentities($_GET['email_from']);
$subject = htmlentities($_GET['subject']);
$text = htmlentities($_GET['text']);
$html = htmlentities($_GET['html']);

//SEND EMAIL
# Setup mime boundary
$mime_boundary = 'Multipart_Boundary_x' . md5(time()) . 'x';

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $email_from . " \r\n";

# Add in plain text version
$body.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
$body.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"charset=us-ascii\"\n";
$body.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body.= $text;
$body.= "\n\n";

# Add in HTML version
$body.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
$body.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
$body.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body.= $html;
$body.= "\n\n";

# End email
$body.= "--$mime_boundary--\n"; # <-- Notice trailing --, required to close email body for mime's

# Finish off headers
$headers .= "From: " . $friendly_from . " <" . $email_from . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender-IP: " . $_SERVER[SERVER_ADDR] . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Date: ' . date('n/d/Y g:i A') . "\r\n";

# Mail it out
return mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

Here is what I am receiving. (And yes I can accept html emails).

htmlentities() would be used on the CONTENT being put into the html markup, that you want to be rendered literally as typed, and also making any javascript/css/html markup in the content, inert.

 

if your $_GET['html']/$html IS the html markup for the page, no, you would not pass it through htmlentities().

 

i'm hoping that you have some security in place to prevent just anyone from submitting whatever they want to your code?
