Great class and easy to do Bastien Koert When I started out, I used the HtmlMimeMail class from Richard Heyes at phpguru.org. It is now called RMail. I found this very easy to use. Extending the main class to include logging of mail is very easy (this year, I've sent 33,500 emails using it). I send email with a plain text part as well as a HTML part. With embedded images and PDF attachments. The recipients use a combination of Outlook (2003 and later), GoogleMail and YahooMail. All of the clients so far can read the messages sent and get the attachments. If you intend to send HTML mail, you will have to go back to using tables with inline CSS if you want to be halfway readable on Outlook 2007+. Outlook 2003 was very good with HTML mail. Outlook 2007+, not so good. But that is fine for me, as the data was all tables. But for those sending out pretty mails, I believe it is a harder job that expected.

[PHP] email w/attachments
Hi gang: Anyone have an email script that allows attachments they would share? I've been trying to figure this out and everything I've tried has failed. I've looked at over a dozen scripts that don't work. I'm about to pull out what hair I have left.

I've been trying to figure this out and everything I've tried has failed. I've looked at over a dozen scripts that don't work. I'm about to pull out what hair I have left. I use the Zend Framework for almost all email capabilities within my scripts: http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.0/en/zend.mail.attachments.html Nice documentation, well tested, and often times I'll end up using one of the other components in the framework before I'm done, anyway, so it's nice to have the framework sitting on the server ready to go (and, if desired, you can send emails using SMTP credentials in a snap.) Additionally, you only have to use what you want of Zend, so I actually use my own framework for managing the flow of the application, and I just include the specific Zend files needed in a particular page.
