RE: looking for a script to handle e-cards

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 28.2003

Hello –

I’m not sure if I’m posting this in the correct forum as I’m new to server-side programming.

I’m looking an easy-to-implement script to handle the sending and parsing of e-cards.

I don’t want to archive the e-card on my web server – I’d prefer to have the card (an image with a simple greeting) sent to the recipient’s e-mail inbox.

Is this possible? php?

All and any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

Robsta

@pyroSep 28.2003 — Yes, it is possible with PHP. Wouldn't be overly hard, just need to parse the users input and turn it into a HTML formatted email. If you are looking for a pre-built solution, try looking at http://php.resourceindex.com/ or http://www.hotscripts.com/. If they don't have anything and you are unable to do it yourself, you may need to hire a [URL=http://www.infinitypages.com/programming.php]programmer[/URL].

@robsta117authorSep 28.2003 — Thanks for the reply - I checked hotscripts and couldn't find anything - I'll look into resourceindex later and see what they've got.

I've been working with a php form mail script that I've been able to modify in order to parse assorted forms on my site - it's all plain text.

Would it be possible to modify a form mail script to handle html formatted mail?

If you'd like to view the script I've been using, please let me know and I can post or PM it to you.

Thanks -

@pyroSep 28.2003 — To send HTML formatted email you just need to set the Content-type header, something like this:

[code=php]$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";[/code]and then remember to add that to your [URL=http://www.php.net/mail]mail[/URL] function...
