MIME - trouble with mail() on Yahoo Server

[farrah]

Hey everyone,
I'm just starting to dabble around with MIME mail and used the following article on PHP Builder to generate an email with an attachment:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic20000807.php3?feedback=Message+Queued+For+Approval

The script works beautifully until I get to the php mail() function as written in the article code.

[COLOR="Red"]return mail($this->to, $this->subject, " ", $email);[/COLOR]

$email being the mime version of the email message.

If I change the script to read:
return mail($this->to, $this->subject, $email, $this->from);

an email will be sent but of course this simply regurgitates the MIME code in the text of the email instead of executing the code to attach an image.

Any thoughts??
Thanks!!!

I don't see that code written in the article. I see him state that you have to do:

$mime->send_mail();

But I don't ever see him inside of his class define that you use the mail() function.... so you strayed from his tutorial somewhere.

No, wait... probably in that zip-file

The only difference I see is that he uses an empty string (meaning no spaces or characters) where-as you use a 1-character space as the message. Try:

return mail($this->to, $this->subject, '', $email);
