Note Submitter: nielsvandenberge at hotm dot dot dot dot dot com ---- In the post I made about the send_mail() function at 28-Aug-2007 05:15 is a small problem. the text: <?php $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.$eol; ?> should be replaced by <?php $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol; ?> With a double "end of line" you close the header of a block so then the body should start. The Body also ends with two eol's An e-mail is build up with some blocks, and those blocks can also contain blocks. Every block has a header where is defined what kind of block it is (content-Type). This content can be the texts and attachments for example. The blocks are separated with a boundary, which is also defined in the header of a block (always starts with two dashes). After the header of a block you should put two "end of lines" (eol) and a boundary. The last block ends with a boundary plus two dashes (so it looks like "--BOUNDARY--") and 2 eol's When a block contains other blocks (like we did with the HTML/Plain text part), the blocks should be separated by a different boundary then we used before. So an email will look like: Mail Header [define boundary "--123"] 2 eol --123 header block 1 [define boundary "--456"] 2eol --456 header block 1.1 2eol content block 1.1 2eol --456 header block 1.2 2eol content block 1.2 2eol --456-- 2eol --123 header block 2 2eol content block 2 2eol --123-- 2eol Have fun with it
