<?php
include('Mail.php');
include('Mail/mime.php');

$text = 'Text version of email';
$html = '<html><body>
<img src="background.jpg"></body></html>';


$crlf = "\n";
$hdrs = array(
              'From'    => 'email@domain.com',
			  'To'      => 'maileohye123@gmail.com',
              'Subject' => 'Test mime message'
              );

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$mime->addHTMLImage($image,"image/jpeg"); 

$mimeparams = array ('head_encoding' => 'base64',
                     'text_encoding' => '8bit',
					 'head_charset' => 'UTF-8',
					 'text_charset' => 'UTF-8',
					 'html_charset' => 'UTF-8');
$body = $mime->get($mimeparams);
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$host = "smtp.domain.com;
  $username = "email@domain.com";
  $password = "password";

$mail =& Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
$mail->send('maileohye123@gmail.com', $hdrs, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }	
?>

When i proceed it show mail had been sent, but when i open my inbox,there's nothing.

When i remove the background.jpg image from the directory, it can be send to my mailbox, but when i open my mail, there's a fail image(x sign image)

You're not defining $image anywhere that I can see. And if you want you use an image in your $html definition you need to use a fully qualified path:

Hey Alex,

Great code - I managed to paste it into my app, and with one minor change it work perfectly. Saved me hours of research.

There is one line lissing from your code - Anakadote was right, you need to assign a value to the variable $image - but not the entire FQDN as this would defeat the purpose of embeding.

If not to late for you - the missing line is:
$image='background.jpg';

I placed this immediately after the include statements and it worked perfectly.
