Re: Embed images to HTML-mails
But it just gives me an img src='... but not the actual image.
That HTML image element is a reference to the image; browsers and HTML-
enabled email readers will display it correctly. When you say not the
actual image, do you mean:
(1) the image doesn't display correctlty in the email you sent?
(2) the HTML code itself shows up in the email display instead of the
image?
For (1): Check that the image path is correct ('logo.gif' should be in
your /app/webroot/img/ directory). Also, some email programs don't
show images by default, so it might look broken.
For (2): Ensure that the email program you are using to read the sent
email supports images and HTML formatting. If you are trying to read
an HTML email in plain text, you will undoubtedly see some HTML code.
If you want to send the email with both plain text (no images) and
HTML (images, layout, etc), take a look at the built-in Email
component in CakePHP: http://book.cakephp.org/view/176/email.

But how do I add an image to the HTML-part?
I tried to do something like this in the layout:
?php e($html-image('logo.gif')); ?
But it just gives me an img src='... but not the actual image.
What am I doing wrong?
You're not doing anything *wrong*, per se, but the CakePHP Email
component wasn't really designed to do this. You may be able to pull
it off by attaching the image and referencing the ID of that image in
your HTML part but I forget how to do that (it's not really covered
these days and, from what I hear, is flagged as spam more often than
not.)

Re: Embed images to HTML-mails

@Jonathan Snook
Sending images in HTML email with the Email component works just fine;
you don't need to send it as an attachment. And yes, if you have a
very large amount of images, it might get marked as spam by the
recipient email client (but that's a differerent topic for a different
day).
@Meloy
Make sure that the image path is not relative, but instead pointing to
a live production image.
Example of the image reference in the email view file:
?php e($html-image('http://live-site.com/logo.gif')); ?
Note the http://live-site.com/; addition so that CakePHP doesn't use
the relative path.
I tested this just now with with CakePHP 1.2.x.x revision 7333 and it
works as expected in HTML-aware email clients (Gmail, Mail,
Thunderbird).

Let me clarify since I think you missed what I was trying to say. Yes, you can link to images hosted on the interwebs just fine and the CakePHP component will work just fine to accomplish this. What the person is asking to do, however, is have the image encoded within the email as part of a multi-part email. This is different than what you are suggesting.

Re: Embed images to HTML-mails
If you want put the full url, you can do this: ?= FULL_BASE_URL . $html-image()) ? I think its more simple and less weight than embed image on a email.
