I found a simple function to mail MIME e-mail including attachments. I thought I found it in
someone's comments on the mail functions, but I can't find it now. The mail_attach
function was great, except it created a MIME message whether or not you attached anything. This
doesn't look right in Outlook MUA for one, so I modded it to only do MIME if there are
attachements. So enough, here it is (thanks to the author of the original):
function mail_attach($to, $from, $subject, $message, $files = FALSE,$lb="\n") {
// $to Recipient
// $from Sender (like "email@domain.com" or "Name <email@domain.com>")
// $subject Subject
// $message Content
// $files hash-array of files to attach
// $lb is linebreak characters... some mailers need \r\n, others need \n
$mime_boundary = "<<<:" . md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), 1));
$header = "From: ".$from;
if(is_array($files)) {
$header.= $lb;
$header.= "MIME-Version: 1.0".$lb;
$header.= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;".$lb;
$header.= " boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"".$lb;
$content = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.".$lb.$lb;
$content.= "--".$mime_boundary.$lb;
$content.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"".$lb;
$content.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit".$lb.$lb;
}
$content.= $message.$lb;
if(is_array($files)) {
$content.= "--".$mime_boundary.$lb;
foreach($files as $filename=>$filelocation) {
if(is_readable($filelocation)) {
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode(implode("", file($filelocation))));
$content.= "Content-Disposition: attachment;".$lb;
$content.= "Content-Type: Application/Octet-Stream;";
$content.= " name=\"".$filename."\"".$lb;
$content.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$lb.$lb;
$content.= $data.$lb;
$content.= "--".$mime_boundary.$lb;
}
}
}
if(mail($to, $subject, $content, $header)) {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
