Hi there, I've been trying to find an answer to this for hours and I can only find help on it in ASP.
What I am trying to do is send an email from a website with inline images attached and displayed rather than linking them.
Here is the code:
Now the email gets through OK, however, the selected image is not displayed.
Has anyone ever got some thing like this working before? I can't for the life of me work it out.
Cheers
Aaron
What I am trying to do is send an email from a website with inline images attached and displayed rather than linking them.
Here is the code:
Code:
<?php
$separator = "\r\n";
$from = "test@test.com";
$to = "test@test.biz";
$salutation = "Aaron";
$subject = "Tell a Friend";
$message = "<html><body>The enclosed files are tests.<img src=\"cid:test.gif\" /></body></html>" . $separator;
// Set the required attachments
$attachments[]["file"] = "images/test.gif";
$attachments[]["file"] = "images/footer.gif";
// Loop through the attachements array and get the filename only
reset($attachments);
while(list($k, $v) = each($attachments)) {
$attachments[$k]["name"] = basename($v["file"]);
}
// Loop through the attachments and get the filesize
reset($attachments);
while(list($k, $v) = each($attachments)) {
$attachments[$k]["size"] = filesize($v["file"]);
}
// Loop through the attachments and get the filetypes
reset($attachments);
while(list($k, $v) = each($attachments)) {
switch(substr(strrchr($v["file"], "."), 1)) {
case "gif":
$attachments[$k]["type"] = "image/gif; name=\"" . $attachments[$k]["name"] . "\"";
break;
case "jpg":

Default:

}

}
// Initialize the MIME start and ending vars

$message_suffix = "";
// Only do this lot if the attachment array exists, is an array, and has elements
if (isset($attachments) and is_array($attachments) and count($attachments) > 0) {

list($x, $y) = explode(" ", microtime());
$boundary = "boundary--" . $y . substr($x, 2);
// Assign the MIME header to tell the email client what the message is
$add[] = "MIME-Type: 1.0";
$add[] = "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $boundary . "\"";

if(isset($from) and strlen($from)) {

}
?>Now the email gets through OK, however, the selected image is not displayed.
