PHP HTML-email body doesn't show up

northcloud

Helll every one. I have problem to make HTML-email working. I use PHP 'mail()' function. email body and header are below. After a new user registered in our system, we send him a confirm email (HTML-formatted) with a link embeded. I test email feature on 2 sites. One for testing and another is a real running site. They are hosted in different sites (testing site uses a share-hosting - PHP version 4.3.10 and Apache is 1.3), and real one runs on a dedicated server - PHP version is 4.3.2 and Apache is 2). The email function works on my testing site well, but doesn't work on the real site (without boby, but with From/To/Subject). Could anyone give me advices about it? Thanks in advance. I think it maybe the issue about boundaries. But how come it work on one and doesn' work on another one? what should the correct boundaries be?

my email body look like below (between 2 star lines):

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

  boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10"

Thanks Frederick. Here is my code.

in register.php,

if (!mime_mail($myworkemail, "newaccount@totalhroffice.com", $subject, $defaultBlock_text, $message))
print "Error to send email to the user.";

function mime_head()
{
return "MIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative;\n\t
boundary=\"----=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10\"\n";
}

function mime_mail($to,$from,$subject, $plain,$html)
{
if( strlen($html)>0 )
{
$msg_body = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
mime_section("text/plain") . $plain ."\n" .
mime_section("text/html") . $html ."\n------=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10--\n";
$msg_header = "From: " . $from ."\n" . mime_head();

return mail($to, $subject, $msg_body, $msg_header);

}
else {
return mail($to,$subject,$plain,"From: " . $from);
}
}

Help these code will help.
$defaultBlock_text contains plain text .

$message contains HTML-email body.

These sections are suppose to go with the header
$msg .= "\nContent-Type: " . $type . ";
$msg .= " charset=\"iso-8859-1\"";

$header = "From: $your_name <$senders_email>\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
