RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail
Hello, Thank you all for your cooperation yesterday. I tried PEAR Mail_mime as
follows:
function SendEmail($template, $params){
// Read and open the template file and the image file
$htmlFile = fopen(./templates/$template.html, r);
$txtFile = fopen(./templates/$template.txt, r);
$htmlMsg = fread($htmlFile, filesize(./templates/$template.html));
$textMsg = fread($txtFile, filesize(./templates/$template.txt));
// Replace the template values
foreach($params as $key = $value){
// Template values will always start with two hash marks ##
if(substr($key, 0, 2) == ##){
$htmlMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $htmlMsg);
$textMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $textMsg);
}
}
// Create the appropiate headers
$headers = array(
From = n...@domain.ca,
Reply-To = n...@domain.ca,
Subject = $params[subject],
Organization = Name
);
// Create the mime object
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime-setTxtBody($textMsg);
$mime-setHTMLBody($htmlMsg);
$mime-addHTMLImage(templates/emaillogo.jpg, image/jpg,
templates/emaillogo.jpg);
// Set the variables for the Mail object to send the message
$body = $mime-get();
$headers = $mime-headers($headers);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);
return $mail-send($params[email], $headers, $body);
}
However, hotmail is still getting blank emails when I sent them from my
production machine (CentOS 5.3), however, when I send the message from my
development machine (Visata Ultimate SP1) it does work correctly on hotmail
address . Both machines are running php 5.2 and have the same PEAR packages.
I tried Gmail, Yahoo mail and Thunderbird and they work fine.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Fernando.

various other classes available www.phpclasses.org
Fernando,
I recommend you check out the various PHP frameworks out there. Instead
of randomly searching for classes for common functionality like sending
an email from your script, you could use the framework's classes. I am
sure all of the frameworks provide classes to send emails. The next
time you need a class to read email from your scripts, you can simply
look for classes your framework of choice provides.
I personally use Zend Framework. But there are many available - Cake,
CI, Symphony, etc.
Also take a look at PEAR like Bastien said.

RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail
I decided to change the call to send to:
$mail = Mail::factory(smtp, array(host = localhost));
return $mail-send($params[email], $headers, $body);
and now hotmail wokrs. Maybe qmail changes something when the mail() function
is used.
Thank you for all your help.

Also, I've seen Outlook choke on message with the \r\n line endings, could Hotmail be doing that too?
