使用PHP发送HTML电子邮件

Question

I am trying to send html email using php. it is working fine on gmail, yahoo etc. but on my cpanel (Horde Email Client) the text is comming as an attachment and it is not showing any body.

These are the headers i am using

   $headers = "From: " ."XYZ<noRelpy@xxx.com>" . "\r\n";
   $headers .= "Reply-To: ". "noRelpy@xxx.com" . "\r\n";
   $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
   $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=us-ascii" . "\r\n";

I have also tried changing the charset to iso-8859-1 but still no sucess

Answer 1

Sending emails is hard, and fraught with serious security problems (mostly related to spam). It takes years to write code that sends email reliably.

Instead of trying to do it yourself, this is a place where a third party library makes sense.

We have been using PHPMailer for years: http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/

Answer 2

It is difficult to write custom code that sends HTML e-mail, especially ones with embedded images or attachments. I have written a class to do this, but once you do, you realise there are a bunch of other features you need.

Using a third-party library really is a better choice here if your core product is not a mailing library. PHPMailer is good, another good option is

swiftmailer

Good luck!
