Re: [PHP] html email showing instead of line breaks
>>> \r\n should be between double quotes: "\r\n"
I think you'll still see the literal ""s in your final email,
though because htmlspecialchars() is converting the angle-brackets in
the tag to their respective HTML entities ("<" for "<" and ">"
for ">").
A bit of a thorny problem because you probably do want to escape
HTML-characters in the message for security purposes. I suppose you
could call str_replace() after htmlspecialchars(), instead of before
it as you currently do.
OTOH, why not just send your email as plain text, instead of HTML?
Thanks,
Ben

[PHP] HTML Email Composing Problem.
I'm trying to use PHP to compose an HTML formatted email and I'm running
into some small problems.
1) When using "Content-Type: multipart/mixed" during my testing both
Thunderbird and Gmail display the plain text and html version of the
email and Firefox attaches the html portion as an attachement.
2) When using "Content-Type: multipart/alternative" during my testing
Thunderbird only showed the HTML portion of the email but Gmail
displayed only a blank email.
3) Spam Assassin doesn't like it either way and tags the email as SPAM
for the following reasons:
0.6 HTML_SHORT_LENGTH BODY: HTML is extremely short
0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
1.5 MIME_BASE64_TEXT RAW: Message text disguised using base64 encoding
Here is the script, which I mostly borrowed from tutorials/how to examples on
the web.
$to="Tom Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$from="Support <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$subject="Test HTML Email";
// --> plain text part of the email
$msgtext="This is HTML Testing";
//--> html part of the email
$htmlmsg=chunk_split(base64_encode("This is HTML testing."));
//--> create boundary
$sep = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(time(;
//--> create email
$header = "From: $from\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$sep\n\n";
$header .= "--$sep\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n";
$header .= "$msgtext\n\n";
$header .= "--$sep\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n";
$header.= "$htmlmsg\n\n";
$header .= "--$sep--";
//--> mail it
mail($to, $subject, "", $header);

[PHP] HTML email problem: IMAP
Hi,
I downloaded a class from php classes called "clssendmail", the class was
working on a different server
but now I get this error when I try to use it:
"Call to undefined function: imap_8bit() in."
The class is basically to send an email in 2 parts, plain text and HTML...if
the person has html off or cannot view html email then the plain text one
will display else the HTML part will display.
After googleing I see that sometimes PHP is not compiled with Imap_8bit
which causes this problem...:-(
This is the troublesome part:
///
function addHtmlBodyPart($html) {
$this->bodyParts["text/html"]="\n".imap_8bit($html)."";
}
/
Any work around to this problem or any idea of another class that does what
this is supposed to do and will work
on all servers? I also downloaded manuel lemos collection of mime classes
but thats t damn powerful for my
little task..couldnt understand half of what was in there.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
-Ryan

We're just running a trial base here to see what works, if it turns out that the majority of our customers do not enjoy it, then we'll switch to plain text (actually built the plain-text one first, this is just an add-on) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] HTML email with Outlook
Hi, I've made a PHP script that sends out an automatic email through my servers cron system, it works well, but I thought I'd try to do some HTML email to get things to line up a little better. To do so, I added the following line in my mail() command: -Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 When I check the messages sent out with Eudora, the HTML email comes in perfectly. However, when I check with Outlook Express 6 - I get the actual HTML code rather than the nicely formatted email that I had created. Should I be using another line in my mail() command? I've recieved HTML email before with Outlook Express on my machine without changing any settings at all. Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and the HTML email worked fine there too.

You need to set an encoding and encode the body see:

I'm building a tool that takes form input and sends out an html email with a

It sends the text and html version of the email but I can't open the

Anyone have a thought or two about this?
if ($attachment) {

$data = fread($fp, filesize($attachment));
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
fclose($fp);
// add the MIME data
$str .= "--" . $boundary . "\r\n";
$str .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" .
$attachment ."\"\r\n";
$str .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
$str .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . $attachment

$str .= $data . "\r\n";
}

Re: [PHP] HTML Email
It looks fine to me. The only difference is that I use
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable, which shouldn't make
much of a difference here. A very small misplacement of a newline
character or even a space can cause things not to work correctly.
Your best course of debugging is to send a successful (look for a
"send this page as email" link) HTML email to your outlook account.
Open the message in a new window and inspect the headers carefully.
Then you try to mimic that.
In the end I skip using php's mail() function and use a socket
connection and speak directly with the SMTP host.
It all seems so easy in the beginning, but as soon as you start
testing your html email in different email programs you realize that
they all behave slight differently. The differences between Eudora,
Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, Pine, etc are enough to drive you nuts.

The very first thing you need to do when thinking about a way to send HTML e-mail is to take plenty of aspirin and lie down until the urge passes and you feel sane again. HTML e-mail bad. Plain text good. At 06:51 AM 12/18/2001, Gerard Onorato wrote: >Okay I know I must be overlooking somethign super obvious but > >I am trying to send a simple HTML email.

[PHP] HTML Email
Okay I know I must be overlooking somethign super obvious but
I am trying to send a simple HTML email. It works in Netscape mail, Pegasus etc
however in Outlook and Outlook express it actually places the
Content-Type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
in the body of the email all displays all the HTML instead of showing the email as a
web page. I ahev inserted the code below. I know it is something stupid,
so please help.
if ($htmlEmail) {
$headers = "MIME-Version:
1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .=
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . "\r\n";
$body = $html_body;
}
$headers .= "From: $from\r\n\";
($cc != "")?($headers .= "Cc: $cc\r\n"):("");
($bcc != "")?($headers .= "Bcc: $bcc\r\n"):("");
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
Anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Gerard
