Need Help Sending Multi-Part/Alternative Data in PHP Email

[phpBeginner06]

I wrote a php script to send html email and now I would like to be able to send multi-part/alternative to email clients that can not view/display HTML. I tried to change content type to make this work; but I am not sure how I need to add the binarys to my script.

 

<?php

$to="someone@mail.com";
$reply="Reply-To: noresponse@somefakedomain.com";
$from="support@somefakedomain.com";
$subject="About Your Request.....";
$message="<center><div style='border:solid 1px #800000;font-family:arial;font-size:20px;width:400px'><img src='somefakeimage.jpg' width='400px' height='100px'></img><br><br>This is a HTML email.<br><br><br><img src='somefakeimage.jpg' width='400px' height='50px'></div></center>";

@mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from\n$reply\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative");

?>

 

Any one know how I can alter my script above to get this to work?

what do you want to do exactly add what?

 

file a doc what? html what?

no - I did not mean binarys - I meant boundries or boundry

 

I want to be able to send both html and text email, for non-html email clients.

 

I do not know how to set boundries so my php email script will send multi-part/alternative as it's content type.

 

Does anyone know how to set the boundries in my script so this will work?

Add the needed headers and send!
<?php
$headers  = "From: \"Me\"<me@here.com>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
mail('myAddress@hotmail.com', 'Email with attachment from PHP', $message, $headers);
?>

I tried the code below that "redarrow"; plus added all other needed headers and variables. I am able to send an email to an email address with this code; with all the headers included, but the body of the message does not appear. I have used html in the "$message" variable (email body).

 

So why am I not recieveing a multi-part/alternative email; both in html and/or text? Anyone got any ideas?

 

Here Is My Code

 

<?php
$headers  = "From: \"Business Name Here\"<support@mydomain.com>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: \"Business Name Here\"<noresponse@mydomain.com>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
$message = "<div style='color:#00000f'>Hello</div>";
mail('someonesname@aol.com', 'Email Subject Here', $message, $headers);
?>

I found out how to do what I was trying to do. So if any one else would like to find out how to send a multipart/alternative email in PHP (that sends a HTML Version and also a Text Version, for email clients that do not display HTML); visit this page:

Thanks redarrow for the help. Could not get your script to work and no one else on this forum (at the time I last replied to this thread) knew how to accomplish this; so I found the answer else were.
