I am trying to send a simple HTML e-mail from PHP. The code below simply results in a blank e-mail in GMail. It also has an empty attachment called 'noname', which is not at all what I want; though that might just be a symptom of it not working.
The code I am using is:
<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'morrillkevin@gmail.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test HTML email';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b>formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
If possible use the PHPMailer class. It will greatly simplify your work.
It turns out the key is the encoding type. Instead of:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
I needed to use:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
It might depend on stuff as detailed as how you save the PHP file in your own text editor. I haven't looked into it, but the iconv function in PHP may have brought me some joy too. So I think this part is really sensitive.
Here is a better snippet of sample code that shows the whole thing end-to-end:
$notice_text = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.";
$plain_text = "This is a plain text email.\r\nIt is very cool.";
$html_text = "<html><body>This is an <b style='color:purple'>HTML</b> text email.\r\nIt is very cool.</body></html>";
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==MULTIPART_BOUNDARY_$semi_rand";
$mime_boundary_header = chr(34) . $mime_boundary . chr(34);
$to = "Me <foo@gmail.com>";
$from = "Me.com <me@me.com>";
$subject = "My Email";
$body = "$notice_text
--$mime_boundary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
$plain_text
--$mime_boundary
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
$html_text
--$mime_boundary--";
if (@mail($to, $subject, $body,
"From: " . $from . "\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n" .
" boundary=" . $mime_boundary_header))
echo "Email sent successfully.";
else
echo "Email NOT sent successfully!";
exit;

You have to specify the mime-type within the headers-parameter of the mail-function. Add this:
$header .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
It's also shown in the PHP-Documentation for the mail-function . See example 4
如果使用库不是问题,请使用Swift Mailer
There is something important I want to notice about charsets here:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset = \\"UTF-8\\";\\n"
is right and not only
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\\n"
Hope I could help other people who frustrate while searching the same mistake like me.
Remember also to write only \\r for windows and not for Linux-Servers. And at the end of the header should be an extra blank line:
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset = \"UTF-8\";\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
$headers .= "\n";
Following code is working for me to remove HTML Tags in mail.
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
Hope this helps you in php
