newbie: sending email with images and movies included

[r_ahimsa_m]

Hello,
I am learning PHP5 and www technologies.
I would like to send email from .php script. The email will contain HTML
with images (BMP, GIF, JPEG) and movies (MPEG) included.

I have a question: how can I include images and movies (which tags should I
use?).
Can I do it using mail() function? I would prefer mail() than PEAR because I
am not sure if I will have PEAR on server.

Please help.
Thanks.

Check out the mail classes at phpclasses.org - that'll save a bit of
effort. Make sure you read up on email header injection.

Also for various reasons I wouldn't recommend attaching the movie file
to the email if you can avoid it (you can create a mailable HTML page
which plays back the image from a URL).
