17.2. Sending MIME Mail
Problem
You want to send MIME email. For example, you want to send multipart messages with both plain-text and HTML portions and have MIME-aware mail readers automatically display the correct portion.
Solution
Use the Mail_mime
class in PEAR:
require 'Mail.php';
require 'Mail/mime.php';
$to = 'adam@example.com, sklar@example.com';
$headers['From'] = 'webmaster@example.com';
$headers['Subject'] = 'New Version of PHP Released!';
// create MIME object
$mime = new Mail_mime;
// add body parts
$text = 'Text version of email';
$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>';
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$file = '/path/to/file.png';
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'image/png');
// get MIME formatted message headers and body
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$message =& Mail::factory('mail');
$message->send($to, $headers, $body);Discussion
PEAR’s Mail_mime class provides
an object-oriented interface to all the behind-the-scenes details
involved in creating an email message that contains both text and
HTML parts. The class is similar to PEAR’s
Mail class, but instead of defining the body as a
string of text, you create a Mail_mime object and
call its methods to add parts to the body:
// create MIME object $mime = new Mail_mime; // add body parts $text = 'Text version of email'; $mime->setTXTBody($text); $html = '<html><body>HTML version of email</body></html>'; $mime->setHTMLBody($html); $file = '/path/to/file.txt'; ...
