Php Email Headers prob

Glenn

hello:

I am working through "Beginning PHP5 Web Development", by WROX, and I am
having trouble sending HTML email messages in one application. The email
goes through, but is displayed only as text/plain not text/html.
Here are the headers:

Please visit the following URL to confirm your postcard:

http://localhost/mail/confirm.php?id...f70e111336e437
--==MP_Bound_56gd fg56gd56gg==--
And the relevant PHP code:

$boundary = "==MP_Bound_56g dfg56gd56gg==";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$bou ndary\"\r\n";

$message = "This is a Multipart Message in MIME format\n";
$message .= "--$boundary\n";
$message .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\n\n";
$message .= $confirmmessage . "\n";
$message .= "--$boundary\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$message .= $textconfirm . "\n";
$message .= "--$boundary--";
If someone can tell me why this does not appear as html, I would be most
grateful, as I have been puzzling over this for 2 days now ;(

Hi Glenn --

Rearrange the message so that the text portion comes before the HTML.
Sounds really dumb, but it should produce the result you expect.

It Worked! Thanks!

I just wonder why the order matters if my email client is set to receive
HTML??
Thanks again!

PHP create HTML email inserts '!'s

by: geek7 | last post by:

OK, I'm trying to create an email and when it sends the email, it mostly works except that there are '!' inserted at some spots. Checking the html source of the email, looks like they are placed at the end of long lines. I'm assuming there is some issue with the encoding, but searching through groups, nothing I've tried has worked. Can someone let me know if I should be doing something differently with my headers for an html email?...
