[RESOLVED] emailing html page with images

NoBullMan

Hi,
how can I email an html page that has images in it?
I have the html page in "page.html" and use the following in page.php:

  $body = file_get_contents("page.html");
  $to = "myname@domain.com";
  $subject = "Home Automation News";
  $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
  $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
  $headers .= "From: [email]automation@domain.com[/email]";
  $headers .= "\r\n";

  mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

I get the email but no images, just "X" in place of image.

TIA.

the image is on an accesible web server, yes?
and the path of the image needs to point to that server, ie
<img src="http://www.wotsit.com/myproject/images/me.jpg">

the image doesnt travel with the email

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, the images are on the server, in the "images" folder of where the php file resides.

At first, I thought I had to include the full path to the images but when I get html emails with images in them and I click on "view Source", I don't see the full path, just the relative path and that's why I was trying to do this without using full paath and thought there was some trick to it I didn't know.

Maybe the reason that you don't see the full path to images in your email is that the BASE tag is used.

This is from "view source" of the email I have from Microsoft that has an image in it:

I do not see a BASE tag but can still see the image in the email.
