Sending Both HTML And Plain Text Email.
I am using php to send weekly newsletters to my mysql database, the emails are always in HTML only.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to send both types so that if they can't view HTML emails it will show just text?

Sending Text And Html In One Email
i've put close to 10 hours into this today and i'm not getting results. i simply want to create and send emails that can be viewed by both text based and html based email clients. i've scoured the PHP manual and related comments and nothing is working. I also don't want to use a big bloated open source library as my needs are simple...text...html...that's it. can someone point me to code that's working for them (across all popular email clients) or to a tutorial that actually works?

Sending Plain Text E-mail, Trying To Track Accesses
i am using php to dispatch from time to time using the mail() function. i have the message split into an html form and a plain text form, only one displays depending on the recipients mail client. my html message includes a 1x1 "image" that is really a php script, which allows me to track reads on the html version... but i don't know of a way to track reads/views/accesses/etc on the plain text version. is this possible?

Plain Text Email
I'm wanting to protect all inputs for sending a plain text email, in a common routine. Have just found POSIX [:print:] which I thought looked useful. I didn't want to use htmlentities(); because it's a plain text email. Would this protect me from anyone sending spam though this? $raw = stripslashes($raw); $raw = preg_replace("/(content-type|bcc:|cc:|onload|onclick)/i", "DELETED", $raw); $raw = strip_tags($raw); $raw = preg_replace("/[^[:print:]]/", " ", $raw); $raw = substr($raw, 0, 500); $raw = trim($raw); Or, should I use: $raw = htmlentities($raw, ENT_NOQUOTES); The email address would obviously be different. This would cover just the name, subject and message. I don't need newlines etc.

Mail() Plain Text Vs. Html Format
I have been testing the mail() code below using MS Outlook and Outlook Express and a hotmail account and the details sent are always in "plain text" format, which results in the information being nicely aligned (incidentally the e-mail contains order confirmation with lots of columns). However, my customer came back to me this morning to tell me that all is not well ! And rightly enough, when I looked at the snapshot he sent me he is receiving it in "html" format. What am I doing wrong ? Keeping in mind that I am a PHP greenhorn ... Can anyone help. Thanks in advance ! $headers = "From: info@somecompany.com "; $headers.= "X-Sender: <info@somecompany.com> "; $headers.= "X-Mailer: PHP "; $headers.= "X-Priority: 1 "; $headers.= "Return-Path: "."<info@somecompany.com> "; $headers.= "cc: info@anothercompany.com "; $headers.= "bcc: me@mycompany.com "; $headers.= "MIME-Version: 1.0 "; $headers.= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 "; if(@mail($to,$re,$msg,$headers)) { // tell them all was sent fine } else { // give an error message }

Text/plain Or Text/html?
I have a site (that someone else programmed) and I'm trying to fix a problem with the email formatting. There are five or six php scripts that send an email after registration, renewal, etc.. The only script that sends an email which is formatted correctly (ie, with line breaks in the body) is the one that says: $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1"; The scripts that say text/html DON'T format the emails correctly. Isn't this backwards? Or should I just change all of the scripts to text/plain and not try to make sense of it?

Regular Expression To Remove All The HTML Elements And Only Leave The Plain Text.
I am trying to take some HTML and remove all the HTML elements and only leave the plain text. Basically I am trying to extract information that was put into an HTML table. I have a regular expression which catches the HTML elements, it is <.*?> but I actually want the inverse of this, that regular expression returns the HTML elements to me, I want the plain text. I tried doing [^<.*?>]+ but square brackets will only work with 1 character at a time, so it is not seeing <.*?> as a whole.

How To Read HTML Email Text?
I've done a couple of hours web-searching without turning up many answers so far, and I guess I could figure it out (eventually) from the MIME format, but here goes with my question... I don't have any problems reading text emails, but can anybody direct me to some PHP source code that will read (the text inside) an HTML email, specifically the "From", "Subject" and especially the message body? I would like the code to be able to differentiate between (i.e. know that it is) a text or an HTML email, and I would like the code to ignore any attachments. I don't expect the incoming email to have any (or large) attachments, but I hope that any code samples can handle the possible case of big attachments coming along for the ride. Incidentally, if I did (not this time) want to handle large attachments, can PHP and/or servers handle megabytes of data being read into a string variable through fread()? I'm just getting into this stuff, and not sure of what areas would be a resource and/or performance hog.

Csv Using Text/plain
I am using Excel to save a spreadsheet in .csv format. This creates a text file with extension .csvBut when I try to upload the file to the server by checking for its MIME type using $_FILE['userfile']['type'] I get my own error message that the file is not text file. If I change the extension to .txt I am able to upload the file. This is not reliable as it is only relying on extensions rather than contents of the file. Is there a reliable way of checking for file formats. I would like to upload jpeg, gif and text files reliably.

Plain Text Database
i'm really a newbie to php but not OOP. i'm designing a database to hold simple text messages to display in a page called, "News". The client doesn't want a sql database so I suggested a plain text database. I have it working but when I pull the data (fopen) it all comes back as one line. It's set up as a simple form passing 2 variable, $title and $comments. They both write (fwrite) just fine to the .txt file but upon retreiving them (fopen) it's all one line. Since I can't pass formated text to a .txt file is there a different way? As a newbie I haven't come across a solution yet. The client wants this soon so I'm asking here due to the timeline. Given a few more weeks I'm sure I'd stumble across it in some text.

RTF To Plain Text Conversion
does anyone know of a good PHP "module" -- or something else that I can invoke from a PHP script -- that will perform a simple conversion from Rich Text Format (RTF) to plain text with line breaks? I want to store some data in a MySQL database in RTF and allow users to preview the data as unformatted text (except for line breaks/paragraphs) on a webpage before deciding whether to download a file containing the RTF data. I'd rather not try to hack something out myself if I don't have to. The RTF files are likely to be created with Microsoft Word.

Extract Only Plain Text From A Page
Basically, what I am trying to do is write some PHP code that will automatically take text from any web page and eliminate all the HTML, CSS, and JS codes and formatting, leaving only the plain text from the page. I got my code started, but I have hit a snag with javascript and css codes. This is what I have so far: <?php $geturl = $_GET["url"]; ob_start(); include($geturl); $page = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $output = ereg_replace('<script.*.</script>', ' ', $page); $output2 = ereg_replace('<style.*.</style>', ' ', $output); $plaintext = strip_tags($output2); echo $plaintext; ?> The strip_tags function automatically removes all html tags, but it doesn't do anything to javascript and css because html code is not provided between the beginning and end tags, whereas javascript and css codes are both contained within two separate tags, like this for more clarification: html: <div name="htmltag">Keep this text here</div> javascript: <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> As you can see, the text between the div tags should stay, but the js between the script tags should be removed because it is code. I then tried the ereg_replace function to get rid of js and css codes, but there is a problem when there is more than 1 piece of js or css code. The wildcard value (.*.) skips over any ending script or style tags until it reaches the last ending tag, therefore deleting all the text between the two pieces of code. Example: <SCRIPT>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> //removes all text and code from beginning here KEEP ALL THIS TEXT HERE <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</SCRIPT> //to end here Now finally down to the question, is there any way to only remove the js and css code between the beginning tag and the immediate next ending tag? Or is there any other way to get rid of the javascript and css codes?

Saving To Plain Text File
I want to do exactly is open a file that essentially has alot of variables stored in it like this. $names = 'joe¦bob¦clem' $phone = ?¦323232' And it just goes on like that for a few hundred variables. Now all I want to do is open the file up find a certain variable and then just add the string I have to it. So like I have the new $names variable and it contains 'joe¦bob¦clem¦chris' and I just want to save that string to the file. I know it's possible but I usually work only with mySQL so I don't know how to open a file find where I want to edit, edit it and then save the file.

Inserting/parsing Plain Text With 'require'?
I am trying to setup a very simple site that will pull text files into an existing template. I am using a simple require statement, such as: <?php require "/www/companyname/body.txt" ?> The first problem is that it does not seem to respect the linefeeds, which are saved in Unix format, and just lists it as one massive block of text. The second problem is that, obviously, it does not convert symbols such as '&' to '&'. The reason behind this way of including text into HTML files is so that the lecturers can write articles without having to deal with HTML and the articles are inserted into the HTML templates with the 'require' statement. Also, the shear number of text documents that need to be posted would cause a lot of work. I have looked at Project Midguard, but I tend to shy away from applications with little documentation, even though that would be absolutely ideal.

Application/octet-stream Vs Text/plain When Uploading
when testing Zend's file upload script, i uploaded a file (sql.txt that was a sql backup) and $_FILES reported it as text/plain as it should. as soon as i renamed it to sql.sql, $_FILES now reports it as application/octet-stream. all i did was rename the file. to make matters worse, i thought Windows XPpro was adding some bits to the file to explain $_FILES new type so i renamed sql.sql to sql.exe; $_FILES now says it is text/plain, even with the .exe extention. does anyone know why adding the .sql extention would change the type from text/plain to application/octet-stream? btw, the webhost is a linux box (RH). more tested extentions (renaming sql.txt to the following extentions) .sql - application/octet-stream .php - application/octet-stream .gz - application/octet-stream .tar - application/octet-stream .htm - text/plain .html - text/plain .txt - text/plain .exe - text/plain .gif - text/plain .jpg - text/plain .asp - text/asp .rpm - audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin .wav - audio/x-wav .mp3 - audio/mpeg (all i'm doing is changing the extention, nothing more. opening the file in notepad looks all ascii, no funky characters)

Extract The Information By Converting The Binary File To Plain Text
I tried to extract the information by converting the binary file to plain text but I couldn't find any defining characteristics which I could use to extract the information. After looking around to see if anyone else had managed to accomplish this I found that the Freetype library has functions which can access the information I want, specifically TT_Get_Name_ID and TT_Get_Name_String. However I can't figure out how to access these functions from PHP (even though I have freetype installed with GD) or how to convert the code to php.

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?
