Hi List,
Good morning. Hope all are well on this Saturday.
I am in need of a little assistance. I am creating an HTML email.
I have created it successfully already, so I know the code works for
the HTML part.
My question is about the headers of the message.
Here is my code at the end before the message is sent off.
//other code that sets up $html and $text
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP-OS, 0, 3) == 'WIN')) {
$eol="rn";
} else if (strtoupper(substr(PHP-OS, 0, 3) == 'MAC')) {
$eol="r";
} else {
$eol="n";
}
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'From: '.$from.$eol;
$headers .= 'To: "'. $username .'" <' . $email . '>'.$eol;
//$headers .= 'Cc: ' . $from;
//$headers .= 'BCc: ' . $from;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $from .$eol;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion().$eol;
$headers .= 'X-sender: <' . $from . '>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'X-receiver: <' . $email . '>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Message-ID: <'.$MessageID.'@'.$host.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Date: '.$time.$eol;
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'X-Priority: 1'.$eol;
$headers .= 'X-MSMail-Priority: High'.$eol;
$headers .= 'X-MimeOLE: Generated By Design Drumm - MultiPart/Alt E-
Mail'.$eol;
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . $eol;
$headers .= 'Content-type: multipart/alternative';
$headers .= 'boundary="'.$boundary.'"' . $eol.$eol;
// Make sure there are no bare linefeeds in the headers
//$headers = preg-replace('#(?<!r)n#si', "rn", $headers); //I
found this code. Can anyone tell me if it works.
$message = '$message .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable'.$eol.$eol;
$message .= $text.$eol.$eol;
$message .= 'that I have to work properly?
Currently it does not display the HTML on MAC but it does in Hotmail.
MAC mail is grabbing the text version.
So my susspicion is that the headers are just wrong.
It has worked on MAC mail before I tried the MIME boundaries.
TIA,

I would simplify all of this by using a PHP class specifically
covering this issue.
I use the html-mime-mail5 class from phpguru.org (now called RMail) at
http://www.phpguru.org/static/Rmail
Though, you'll probably find PHPMailer is the most commonly used class
at http://phpmailer.worxware.com/

Thanks Richard for your response,
Since the code is a little long, I didn't want to post too much, so
I just put the last part with the headers I was using.
also, since the mailer worked previously,
I was thinking it was just the new header info I was plugging in
so to do the whole checking if a user can receive HTML emails or text.
Any thoughts on what order I should be putting the headers I have?
TIA,
Karl

$RMail->addText($TextMessage);
$RMail->addHTML($HTMLMessage, $DirForImages);
That's it.
If the client can only read text, it will show the text. Otherwise it
will show the HTML.
The alternative headers are all taken care of by the class.
