Inserting Graphics into an Auto Email

bmabma

Grettings to All,

I have and auto email script in php that I would like to show some graphics in the "message" output.

Can anyone help me with the coding ?

The code I have is as follows.....................

<?
$recipient ="My Recipient";
$subject ="My Subject";
$message ="Hello My Recipient,\n
I am trying to show some graphics in this message\n
Thank You.\n\n";
$extra ="From:myemailaddress\r\n Reply-To:myemailaddress\r\n";
mail ($recipient, $subject, $message, $extra);
?>

Thanks

Try putting html into the message body. You have to specify the message type is html but I've not done it before.

Try a search on Google or even look at the message source of some of your own e-mail messages.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Also, make sure that your MIME encoding is correct.

Thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion. The result is that the "message" output just prints the html tags. For example..

When I send.....................
<?
$recipient ="$myrecipient";
$subject ="mysubject";
$message ="
<html><body>
<img border='0' src='logo_new.gif'>
Test Email
<hr color='red'>

Hello my recipient,\n
I am trying to show graphics in this email\n
Thank you\n\n
<hr color='red'>
</body></html>\n\n
$extra ="From:$s_n_email\r\nReply-To:$s_n_email\r\n";

mail ($recipient, $subject, $message, $extra);
?>

The email message comes as follows.........

<html><body>
<img border='0' src='logo_new.gif'>
Test Email
<hr color='red'>

Hello my recipient,
I am trying to show graphics in this email
Thank you
<hr color='red'>
</body></html>

Any other suggestions ?

What do you mean "make sure MIME is correct ???

Have a look, too, at the examples (especially number 4) given in the section on the mail function in PHP's manual; there is also a thread on the subject of HTML and attachements in mail in this thread stuck to the top of the forum.
