[PHP] Multipart Email Problem
I have a script that sends a multipart email from a php page.
The script appears to work fine on my mail client (Mail on Mac OSX) and
on an online email reader (mail2web.com).
However a colleague using Outlook on Windows 2003 views the whole email
(ie the raw code - both the text only and the HTML) and when I sent an
email to his hotmail account, hotmail simply displayed a blank page.
My client is getting quite frantic about this so if anyone has any
suggestions, I'd be very grateful.
This is the script I am using:
$to=Matt MacLeod [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$from=Vinciane Rycroft [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$subject=London 21 Newsletter;
$mime_boundary===Multipart_Boundary_x.md5(mt_rand()).x;
$headers = From: $from\r\n .
MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n .
Content-Type:multipart/alternative;\n .
boundary=\{$mime_boundary}\r\n\;
$headers.= From: $from\r\n;
$message = This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n .
--{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\iso-8859-1\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n .
$nonhtml .\n .
--{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type: text/html; charset=\iso-8859-1\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n .
$htmlVersion;
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
echo Message Sent!;
else
echo Failed to send message.;

Sorting out the MIME headers is not easy. So user http://pear.php.net/package/Mail_Mime to do the hard work.

Re: [PHP] Multipart Email Problem
I had the same problem a few months ago. I switched to Mail::mime thinking that the problem was my homebrew code, but still the same thing -- Outlook didn't recognize the message as multipart. The fix was changing the newline sequence from \r\n to \n. The Mail::mime constructor allows you to change this value, so in my code the change boiled down to: $mime = new Mail_mime (\n); Hope this works for you. pb On Thu, 24 Jun 2004 12:27:17 +0100, Matt MacLeod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a script that sends a multipart email from a php page.
