Blob images in mail()

[Kriekie]

Hi

I have a script that successfully sends a message:

(The Basic Script):

$from = "me@myemail.co.za";
$subject = "Test E-Mail";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers = "From: My Email<$from>\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 

$message = "This is an html message with images";
$message .= "<img src='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.jpg'[/URL] width='60' height='60'>";
$message .= "<img src=''[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mywebsite.com/view.php?ID=$ID";[/URL]

if (mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers)) { 
echo "Message has been sent";
}
else {
   echo "Message was not sent <p>";
   exit;
}

The email sends fine, the logo displays fine, but the blob image comes up blank. If I copy the url directly into my browser the blob image displays with no problem. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It could be some of the strangeness in your HTML.

Instead of:

$message = "This is an html message with images";
$message .= "<img src='

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.jpg'

width='60' height='60'>";
$message .= "<img src=''

http://www.mywebsite.com/view.php?ID=$ID";

Try:

$message = "This is an html message with images";
$message .= '<img src="

http://www.mywebsite.com/images/logo.jpg"

width="60" height="60">';
$message .= '<img src="

http://www.mywebsite.com/view.php?ID='

. $ID . '">';

Nope, it still does it.

In the original there was a misplaced single quote:

$message .= "<img src='[COLOR=red][b]'[/b][/color][URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mywebsite.com/view.php?ID=$ID";[/URL]

However, it does not explain why sleipnir's code would not work. Mail clients may be more picky with headers than browsers. What headers does the PHP script send out?
