Read the page into a variable using fopen/fread or file/implode.

Call the mail() function, passing an additional email header to set the content type to text/html. The content type is what tells the mail viewer how to display the data.

$myfile = implode('',file('foo.html'));

$myheaders = 'From: [e-mail]\nContent-type: text/html\n';
$recipient = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'This is HTML mail';

mail($recipient, $subject, $myfile, $myheaders);

?>

my questions is, in this way, the images in foo.html will be live links.

how can i instead of use the live links, covert the image into binary codes and send it out within the content of the e-mail, just like i use the internet explorer " send page by e-mail", so the recipient can re-read the e-mail with images off-line.

this questions was asked a year ago by paul, and i cannot find the answer for that on this forum.

thanks.

Have a look at

I think the new version lets you embed images into the html.

Thanks. It gives me some ideas.

What I want is, say if i have a html file, foo.html. I want to read this file into message body of the e-mail and mail() it out.

right now, if i read this file, i read the image as the link, <image src="http://www.foo.com/image1">, so when the recipient receives the e-mail, the image is a live link. if he re-read this e-mail offline, the image link is broken.

your sample codes give me the ideas about how to embed images into message. but that example is that you know the positions of the images and how many images in the e-mail. but what i want is i will read any html files and the images (which could be anywhere in that html) will be embebed automatically.

what i think is that i have to read the file, foo.html, and find the image tag, replace it with the imageid and covert the image file into binary code with that imageid and send them out in the e-mail.

any ideas?
