Including image in HTML e-mail

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 24.2007

I have modified the code in the ‘sticky’ on uploading images so that I am sent an e-mail when someone does so. I would like to include a copy of the image in that e-mail, but find MIME types and the PHP Manual in that area heavy going. I can put a link to the image in my e-mail message, but want it to be HTML so that I can see the image itself in the message. I can do the coding for any necessary resizing of the image. I am sure the answer is simple once you know how.

[code=html]
<img src="http://www.domain.com/where_image_is/img.jpg">
[/code]

@gizmoauthorSep 24.2007 — I've already done that bit, but how do I get the e-mail that is sent to me to accept HTML? In other words, how do I make it an HTML e-mail as opposed to plain text?

@rulianSep 24.2007 — you cannot control whether the user will accept HTML emails or not,

the most you can do is have an alternate text version of the email available

@YelgnidrocSep 24.2007 — If I am sending an html e-mail I always send a mime e-mail with plain text as well because not everyone can read html e-mails.

@gizmoauthorSep 24.2007 — The e-mail to be sent to me as the sole recipient and I wish to receive it in HTML format so that I can include with the text a single image using the <img> tag already discussed.

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
