Sending HTML Emails In PHP
I have a form that my customers can complete, and based on their answers, a results page will display. There are many if/elses in the page to display the proper results based on their answers. This works beautifully.
Now my problem:
I'd like to send them an email with their answers. I'm using the mail() function, and it works fine sending them the email in HTML format when I put static text in there like "Hello World!". However, I need to be able to perform if/then statements and include files into that email based on their answers. I can't get the includes to work at all.
Can anyone offer me some insight here?

PHP Sending HTML Formatted Emails
Just so this is out there on the web, I battled the past 24 hours about this. Background info... I developed a ecommerce website in PHP 4 on a shared linux hosting plan from GoDaddy and had the html formatted emails sending as text/html and were going fine with limited header information. Then we moved the site over to a Dedicated Linux hosting plan. This time, it's PHP 5. Things are bound to not work as expected moving to a new programming language. So what worked in PHP 4: $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . ""; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . ""; Now needs to be (at least what worked for me) in PHP 5 $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"; $headers .= "X-Priority: 3"; $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: php"; For the life of me I could not figure out why text/html formatted emails were always sending as plain text and all the information was shown in the body text using the PHP 4 method.

Sending Html Emails With Attachments
I'm using PHP 4.4.4 Can anyone recommend any good freeware that will allow me to send an HTML formatted email with an attachment? The attachment will also be an HTML file, but it would still be good to have a class/script that allows different attachment types. A key thing here is that the email is able to be viewed in Outlook.

Sending Multipart Html Emails With PHP Script
After hours of attempts and "googling", I'm still pulling my hair off my head when I try to send multipart html emails. It "works" on PCs with Outlook when I juste send a single "related" mail: one part for the HTML body, and several for the images. However, the images do not show on a Mac. I also wanted to have an "alternate", plain text message. I've tried the method described by Zend and PHPBuilder, but no luck... I've included a sample of what the email looks like in the end. Questions: what is the best way to organize the multiparts? Where does the header stop and the message start ? MIME-Version: 1.0 From: "Me" <me@truc.net> Subject: My subject Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PIEALT57206" This is a mulipart message in mime format --PIEALT57206 Content-Type: text/plain;Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit; charset="iso-8859-1" Your mail software is not HTML.... --PIEALT57206 Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="PIEREL57206" --PIEREL57206 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding:8bit (html code here) --PIEREL57206 Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="logo.jpg" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: "Image num.9" Content-ID: Image9

Some Problems With HTML Emails My PHP Site Is Sending
I'm creating HTML emails from a PHP site and sending them out to an email list (just about 40 people so far are on this list). I've tested and confirmed that these emails work in yahoo.com's webmail. And I know they work on *my* Outlook Express. But I have one person (I know of) who gets the emails as plain text, so she sees the HTML code for the email instead of its proper representation. She has, like myself, OE6, and other html emails (not necessarily the emails that come from my site, but HTML emails I've sent her directly with my OE), have worked OK. I can't figure it out. I've checked the headers in the emails I've sent her where it came out as plain text (she forwarded them back to me), and the "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" line is present, so it's not a missing header line.

Sending 2 Emails At Once
I'm using the following line in a PHP script, to send a visitor an email from my web page. The $_POST['email'] variable is whatever they enter as their email address into a form: mail ($_POST['email'], 'Title ', $body); I also would like the same script to send a little email to me at the same time, with a short message to myself - not the main body variable shown above. Could anyone please explain what I should add into the above code? All I really want is to receive their email address.

Sending Emails
My Hosting Service only allows me to send 250 emails/hour so I send an email every 15 seconds when sending a newsletter. I use a cron job to start the script at 9am and it should keep this script running until it finishes 10 000 emails(newsletter subscribers). After sending each email I log this in a MySQL db. And in my monitor I see that it stops after sending a various number of emails: 100, 400, 1000, 2300 or whatever(it never send all the 10000 emails). I have set up the maximum execution time variable to 0. Still, I have no idea: why does my emailing script stop? I've watched it myself a couple of times. It shows me no error. The browser just stops from loading after sending a number of emails. (error_reporting is set to 53 - no notices - notices shouldn't stop the script) Also, I have set the abort_user_ignore variable to true.

Sending Too Many Emails
I have a script that takes information from one table (ufJoin) and using its results grabs information from two other tables (users and feeds). Using the information gathered then utilizes a pre-made function and sends an email. For example: ufJoin contains userid 1 and feedid 1. So the script looks in the users table for the userid matching 1 and takes their email addresses. The script then looks in the feeds table for the feedid matching 1 and takes its url. The table ufJoin will contain more than one entry per user. Meaning, more than one URL is to be used. The URLs found are then attached to a pre-made function and emailed. It sends a new email for every URL instead of just the one! How can I stop this from happening?

Sending Multiple Emails
I have a little problem with sending multiple e-mails to multiple people. I can't just add recipients onto the "To:" because each e-mail will be different for each person I am sending to. I have a page sending me multiple variables that relate to different users. Then I go through those variables with a loop, get the related e-mail address, get other info related to that person and other info relating to that variable out of the database and try to send it. It seems to do it and I even get a mailsent - i.e. $mailsent = mail(); - of 1 for all of them, but only the first email ever gets sent. PHP Code:

Sending Lots Of Emails
Is there anything I should note when sending emails to lots of people from a database. i.e. do I need to stop the script to allow the server to send the mails or anything like that? I am running PHP on Linux, and am looking to send out approximately 12,000 emails. I'm using a web form to populate the email, then just the normal mail function to send, looping round once for each email (i.e. a separate call to mail() ).

Server Isn't Sending Emails
It's not a problem with a specific email service. There are people from hotmail, gmail, aol, yahoo and a few others who haven't received the validation link, but others with the same email service have. I have signed up with 2 of my gmail accounts and my hotmail account and I received the validation email each time, and it never shows up in the spam folder. When I set-up the domain on the server I did nothing to the mail server settings, I just left it with the default settings and it seemed to be working fine, but obviously not. I don't know jack about mail servers, so is there something I need to do to make sure all email are being sent? Code:

Sending Emails With Delay
i have 300 subscribers. According to my hostings provider mail policy, i can send 200 emails in one hour. So its 18sec/1email. So what are my possibilities? 1. I can send emails using set_time_limit(0) + sleep(20). 2. Set some cronjob. Using first method, would force me to have browser window opened for ~1.5h... Not an option. So i guess using cronjobs would be the best thing to do here. But how to invoke/destroy cronjobs from a PHP script. I dont have any shell acc and safe_mode is on.

Sending Lots Of Emails In The BACKGROUND?
I'm building a 'job posting' site of sorts. When a job is available in a particular state, I want the system to send an email to everyone who is 'watching' that state. I know how to do this, but I need to figure out a way to 'send the emails in the background' - ie: if an administrator adds a job to Wyoming, I don't want them to have to wait for the php script to finish selecting and e- mailing everyone watching the state before the administrator can move on and do other things. I originally thought that passing this task to the PHP command line would do the trick, but it turns out that a script like... exec("my php script that emails people"); echo "complete!"; ....does not echo "complete!" until the thousands of people have all had their info passed to the mail server (a long time). I suppose that I could get rid of this by just lumping everyone together in the Bcc: field of a single e-mail message, but at this point I'd like to keep that as a last resort and go with the personalization ("Hi James... a job has been posted in Wyoming"). Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can send the emails without preventing the administrator from doing other tasks until the script has finished executing?

Sending Mail: Choice Between Sending Receipt, Or HTML Formatting
I'm using PHP's mail function to send out a message via email. I would like for this email message to send a receipt when read as well as send an HTML formatted email. Both aspects are important to me. I know this is a product of the mail header. This is the format I currently have: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Disposition-Notification-To: name<email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8"); This prompts the email program to send a reciept, but the email message is not in the HTML format, and even contains "Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8" at the top of the body. If I switch the order to this format: mail(to, subject, body, "From: name <email> Content-type:text/html;charset=utf-8 Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>"); This sends the email with HTML formatting but does not prompt the sending of the receipt. I also get "Disposition-Notification-To: name<email>" at the top of the email message. This tells me there is a problem in the transition between the headers, which currently is "". What am I doing wrong?

Sending Individualised Emails From A Remote Server
I have been trying for several days to develop a mass email system which can handle HTML content, can mail out to multiple addresses and where I can individualise the content using each recipient's first name (Dear John). I was recommended phpMailer which seems to offer everything I needed but I could not get it to connect (via SMTP) to the remote mail server I am using. I then tried htmlMimeMail which also did everything I needed. I got it up and running, but when I tried to loop through the recipents addresses adding each recipients name to the body of the email the inbuilt function could not execute fast enough to keep up with the loop. Hence emails were sent to each recipient but each had the same name in the body, the first in the array.
