Question

How to attach and show image in mail using php?

Answer 1

A:

This is the code to do it. Or are you looking for a library that sends mail?

    $to = "[email protected]"; 
    $from = "[email protected]""; 
    $subject = "Hello! This is HTML email"; 


    $message = "
<html> 
  <body> 
    <!-- html goes here -->
  </body> 
</html> 
";

    $headers  = "From: $from\r\n"; 
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; 

   mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks, but what happened to attaching the image?

Johan 2009-10-22 11:40:37

I'm not looking for any library.

Johan 2009-10-22 11:41:39

through the html. right sorry... i though with "is on my server" you wanted to stay there not embedded. my mistake.

Answer 2

+1 A:

depends on do you want an image to be linked or embedded in email? In the former case use Ross's code and a conventional img tag:

$message = '
   <html>....
   <img src="http://yourdomain.com/full/path/to/image.gif"&gt;
   etc

To embed an image you're better off using a library, like phpmailer, or study mime docs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME and create your own.

I want to attach the image, and embed it in the email. I don't want to use any library.

Johan 2009-10-22 11:58:47

Learn mime specs then. Send yourself a mail with an image and view its source for better understanding.

Answer 3

+2 A:

Hi.

I'm using this function. It find all images in my letter and atach it to message.

Parametrs: it take your html (wich you whant to send);

Return: return a needed html and headers, which you can use in mail();

Example usage:

$final_msg = preparehtmlmail($html) // give a function your html

mail('[email protected]', 'your subject', $final_msg['multipart'], $final_msg['headers']); //send email with all images from html attached to letter

function preparehtmlmail($html) {

 preg_match_all('~<img.*?src=.([\/.a-z0-9:_-]+).*?>~si',$html,$matches);
 $i = 0;
 $paths = array();

 foreach ($matches[1] as $img) {
    $img_old = $img;

    if(strpos($img, "http://") == false) {
      $uri = parse_url($img);
      $paths[$i]['path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$uri['path'];
      $content_id = md5($img);
      $html = str_replace($img_old,'cid:'.$content_id,$html);
      $paths[$i++]['cid'] = $content_id;
    }
}

$boundary = "--".md5(uniqid(time()));
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .="Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"\n";
$headers .= "From: ".DEFCALLBACKMAIL."\r\n";
$multipart = '';
$multipart .= "--$boundary\n";
$kod = 'utf-8';
$multipart .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=$kod\n";
$multipart .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quot-Printed\n\n";
$multipart .= "$html\n\n";

foreach ($paths as $path) {
if(file_exists($path['path']))
  $fp = fopen($path['path'],"r");
if (!$fp)  {
  return false;
}

$imagetype = substr(strrchr($path['path'], '.' ),1);
$file = fread($fp, filesize($path['path']));
fclose($fp);

$message_part = "";
    switch ($imagetype) {
    case 'png':
    case 'PNG':
        $message_part .= "Content-Type: image/png";
        break;
    case 'jpg':
    case 'jpeg':
    case 'JPG':
    case 'JPEG':
        $message_part .= "Content-Type: image/jpeg";
        break;
    case 'gif':
    case 'GIF':
        $message_part .= "Content-Type: image/gif";
        break;
    }

$message_part .= "; file_name = \"$path\"\n";
$message_part .= 'Content-ID: <'.$path['cid'].">\n";
$message_part .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$message_part .= "Content-Disposition: inline; filename = \"".basename($path['path'])."\"\n\n";
$message_part .= chunk_split(base64_encode($file))."\n";
$multipart .= "--$boundary\n".$message_part."\n";

}
$multipart .= "--$boundary--\n";
return array('multipart' => $multipart, 'headers' => $headers);

}
