Multi-part Email: Text AND html

Rodney_H_

Can anyone see anything wrong with this?

I send it to myself and it works.

I send it to my co-worker, and he sees the actual HTML code: It does not RENDER the html like a browser would.

Thanks for your help...

<?php
$to = 'rod@company.com';
$subject = 'Subject: A simple mixed message';

$headers = 'From: testing@company.com'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-to: no-reply@company.com'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: andrew@company.com'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
             boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_xc75j85x"'."\r\n";


$body = 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--==Multipart_Boundary_xc75j85x
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is the text portion of the mixed message.

--==Multipart_Boundary_xc75j85x
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<html>
<body>
<p>This <i>is</i> the <b>HTML portion</b> of the mixed message.</p>

</body>
</html>

--==Multipart_Boundary_xc75j85x--'."\n";


if(!mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers))
{
	echo 'Mail was NOT sent!';
}
else
{
	echo 'The mail was successfully sent, dude.';
}
?>

What email client is he using ? Is it the same as yours ?

This is something I wrote to send text, html or text and html email...

 function htmlentities1($strTexte) {
	return '>' . htmlentities($strTexte[1]) . '<';
 }
 function Courriel_Envoyer($strA, $strDe, $strSujet, $strMessage, $intType = 1) {
 // Type = 1 : text/plain + text/html, $strMessage = text/html
 // Type = 2 : text/plain, $strMessage = text/plain
 // Type = 3 : text/html, $strMessage = text/html
	$bolEnvoyer = true;
	$arrCaptures = array();
	if(!preg_match('#[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+#i', $strA)) {
		// L'adresse n'est aucunement valide.
		$bolEnvoyer	= false;
	} elseif(!preg_match('#^[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+$#i', $strA)) {
		// L'adresse n'est pas isolée.
		if(!preg_match('#^".*?"[\s]<[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+>$#i', $strA)) {
			// L'adresse n'est pas du type "Nom" <adresse>
			if(!preg_match('#^(.*?[\s]*?)<(([a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+)))+)>$#i', $strA, $arrCaptures)) {
				// L'adresse n'est pas du type *<adresse>
				if(!preg_match('#^<[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+>$#i', $strA)) {
						// L'adresse n'est même pas du type <adresse>.
						$bolEnvoyer = false;
				}
			} else {
				// L'adresse est du type *<adresse>.
				$strA = ((strlen(trim($arrCaptures[1])))? sprintf('"%s" <%s>', trim($arrCaptures[1]), $arrCaptures[2]) : sprintf('<%s>', $arrCaptures[2]));
			}
		}
	}
	$strFrontiere		= '-----=' . md5(microtime()); //ee73c3999b98f9988841733db40e2dc7"; // . md5(uniqid(rand())); //'-----=' . md5(microtime()) . '=-----';
	$strEntetes		= sprintf(('Reply-to: %s' . "\r\n"), $strDe);
	$strEntetes		.= sprintf(('From: %s' . "\r\n"), $strDe);
	$strEntetes		.= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
	$strMessage_Texte	= '';
	$strMessage_HTML	= '';
	$strMessage_Final	= '';
	switch($intType) {
		case '1':
			$strEntetes		.= sprintf(('Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="%s"'), $strFrontiere);
			$strMessage_Texte	= preg_replace('#<html>.*?<body>#s', '', $strMessage);
			$strMessage_Texte	= trim(preg_replace('#<[^<]*?>#m', '', $strMessage_Texte));
			$strMessage_HTML	= $strMessage;
			$strMessage_HTML	= trim(preg_replace_callback('#>(.*?)<#s', 'htmlentities1', $strMessage));
			$strMessage_Final	= 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--%1$s

Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

%3$s

--%1$s--
';
			break;
		case '2':
			$strEntetes		.= 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"' . "\r\n";
			$strMessage_Texte	= $strMessage;
			$strMessage_Final	= '%2$s';
			break;
		case '3':
			$strEntetes		.= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"' . "\r\n";
			$strMessage_HTML	= trim(preg_replace_callback('#>(.*?)<#s', 'htmlentities1', $strMessage));
			$strMessage_Final	= '%3$s';
			break;
	}
	$strEntetes	= str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $strEntetes);
	$strEntetes	= str_replace("\r", "\n", $strEntetes);
	$strEntetes	= str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $strEntetes);
	$strMessage_Final	= sprintf($strMessage_Final, $strFrontiere, $strMessage_Texte, $strMessage_HTML);
	$strMessage_Final	= str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $strMessage_Final);
	$strMessage_Final	= str_replace("\r", "\n", $strMessage_Final);
	$strMessage_Final	= str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $strMessage_Final);
	return (($bolEnvoyer) ? mail($strA, $strSujet, $strMessage_Final, $strEntetes) : false);
 }

So call...
function Courriel_Envoyer($strA, $strDe, $strSujet, $strMessage, $intType = 1);
$strA = to
$strDe = from
$strSujet = subject
$strMessage = message
$intType = 1 : text + html, 2 : text, 3 : html

That is a good question. He uses EUDORA and I use iMail.

Thanks for your script. I will give it a go tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Have you tried using PEAR's Mail_Mime? It automatically generates MIME-formatted emails for you.
