note 77405 added to ref.mail

I updated the function with help of some comments on this page and some research on the internet and this is the final result. I tested it with MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Yahoo webmail, Hotmail, MS Exchange Webaccess and Horde (text-version) and they all gave the desired output with and without attachments. Spamassassin also accepts this form of sending e-mails, when you use a clean e-mailaddress and body. <?php function send_mail($to, $body, $subject, $fromaddress, $fromname, $attachments=false) { $eol="\r\n"; $mime_boundary=md5(time()); # Common Headers $headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol; // these two to set reply address $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol; // These two to help avoid spam-filters # Boundry for marking the split & Multitype Headers $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.$eol; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"".$eol.$eol; # Open the first part of the mail $msg = "--".$mime_boundary.$eol; $htmlalt_mime_boundary = $mime_boundary."_htmlalt"; //we must define a different MIME boundary for this section # Setup for text OR html - $msg .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."\"".$eol.$eol; # Text Version $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol; $msg .= strip_tags(str_replace("<br>", "\n", substr($body, (strpos($body, "<body>")+6)))).$eol.$eol; # HTML Version $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol; $msg .= $body.$eol.$eol; //close the html/plain text alternate portion $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."--".$eol.$eol; if ($attachments !== false) { for($i=0; $i < count($attachments); $i++) { if (is_file($attachments[$i]["file"])) { # File for Attachment $file_name = substr($attachments[$i]["file"], (strrpos($attachments[$i]["file"], "/")+1)); $handle=fopen($attachments[$i]["file"], 'rb'); $f_contents=fread($handle, filesize($attachments[$i]["file"])); $f_contents=chunk_split(base64_encode($f_contents)); //Encode The Data For Transition using base64_encode(); $f_type=filetype($attachments[$i]["file"]); fclose($handle); # Attachment $msg .= "--".$mime_boundary.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Type: ".$attachments[$i]["content_type"]."; name=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol; // sometimes i have to send MS Word, use 'msword' instead of 'pdf' $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol; $msg .= "Content-Description: ".$file_name.$eol; $msg .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol.$eol; // !!
