Can you have PHP mail an image, and only an image? Would you just do the image code and then have the output in a variable, and then do something like
Code: Select all
mail(email@site.com, '', $imagefile);
?

So this should work?
Code: Select all
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail(email@site.com, '', $imagefile, $header);

So you want the image embedded inside your email instead of a soft link (via HTTP)?
You realize that this will quickly use up bandwidth right? Sending a 64KB image to 1000 people...requires alot of it...
Anyways, if I remember correctly...I believe
phpMailer makes it quite easy to do this...perhaps it was just attachments...but in anycase...use that class as it will make your mailing life 10 times easier
Perhaps you could even look into d11's mailer class...it might do something like this...???
Cheers
