[FX.php List] How to send HTML emails in PHP

Thu Jan 24 13:22:01 MST 2008

I recently went through a nightmare with this same situation ... as some
email clients are not as forgiving with the code as others!  phpMailer
is what I used that ended up working.  I tried to attach it, but it
didn't work.  You can find it out there for free.  Also, read some rules
at
http://kickasswebdesign.com/wordpress/2007/02/the-new-rules-for-html-ema
il/ and http://www.anandgraves.com/html-email-guide .. there are many if
you do a Google search for "html email".

Haven't actually done html mails myself yet, but check out
SwiftMailer.org.

I've got a client for whom I send automated emails from their website;
they're asking if I can add their logo to the email. I use something
called "sock_mail" which was given to me by a consultant, and it's
plain-text.

Is there an easy way to send an HTML email from PHP? I tried taking some
HTML and putting it into an email body, but the message comes back as
HTML code rather than what it's supposed to look like when displayed in
an HTML email message.

Instead of pretty HTML, I received this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
/><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><img
src="http://www.client.com/images/logo.jpg
<http://comparisons.advantastar.com/images/logo.jpg> " width="376"
height="55" /></body></html>

Any help would be mucho appreciated.
