RE: [PHP] HTML Emails

just as easy to do: store the images on a public web server reference the url of the image completely (http://www.foo.bar/pic.gif) make sure you include the content headers for html based email <? // other stuff like initalizing variables ... // set email headers and mail message $headers = "From: $from\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n"; mail($to,$subj,$body,$headers); ?> this will make sending the mail faster since you don't have to 'embed' the image. Also, user will spend less time downloading his mail (although, when opened, it will make the call to retrieve the image). -----Original Message----- From: Brian Clark [mailto:brianj@fusionwerks.com] Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 10:56 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] HTML Emails Hello Bolke & Andrés (BBd == "Bruin, Bolke de") B.deBruin@tijdbeursmedia.nl writes: BBd> Just send the HTML, BBd> the images aren't embedded but rather downloaded from a HTTP server. Shouldn't work. AFAIK, you'll have to send the correct Headers/MIME type. <img src="foo.gif"> Should show up as plain text here.
