PHP Attaching an Image to an Email

PHP Attaching an image to an email

Try the PEAR Mail_Mime package, which can embed images for you.

You need to use the addHTMLImage() method and pass a content id (cid), which is a unique string of text you will also use in your img's src attribute as a cid: URL. For example:

include('Mail.php');
include "Mail/mime.php";

$crlf = "\r\n";
$hdrs = array( 
        'From' => 'foo@bar.org', 
        'Subject' => 'Mail_mime test message' 
        ); 

$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf); 

//attach our image with a unique content id
$cid="mycidstring";
$mime->addHTMLImage("/path/to/myimage.gif", "image/gif", "", true, $cid);

//now we can use the content id in our message
$html = '<html><body><img src="cid:'.$cid.'"></body></html>';
$text = 'Plain text version of email';

$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html); 

$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);

$mail =& Mail::factory('mail');
$mail->send('person@somewhere.org', $hdrs, $body);

How to Attach Image into Mail Function Without HTML Form

use the PHPmailer script, is the better way, wp_mail is even more easy but that´s another subject, here is a post that will solve your problem.

Send attachments with PHP Mail()?

using wp_mail would be something as easy as this:

<?php
$to = "somobe@yahoo.ca";
$subject = "I am sending an image";
$txt = "Body of the message (can be a html or text/plain)";
$headers = "From: someone else";
$attachment= "image.jpg";// just like this in the root folder of your script, if you have your image in another folder then just write the path.
wp_mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers,$attachment);
?>

Embedding an image in an email with PHP

Try send with PHPMailer it is simple solution

https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Tutorial

Works with TLS/SSL smtp connections (gmail need TLS connections)

insert image in mail body

To create an HTML email you can do something like this:

...
$message = "<html><head></head><body>";
$message .= "<img src='link-image.jpg' alt='' /></body></html>";

$headers = "From: $from_email";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

This should build an HTML email for you and you should then be able to insert just normal html.

Add Picture In Email Body

You are using a relative path:

<img src=images/c22.jpg>

When you open your mail, that path will mean nothing in a mail client and it is highly unlikely to exist on a webmail client. And if it does, it is not your image...

If you have that image stored on a web-server, you should use the absolute path to that image:

<img src="http://www.your-server.com/images/c22.jpg">

How to add image to php mail body

This should work as expected:

<?php 
    ...
    $body .= '<img src="http://domain.com/absolute/path/to/image/img/logo.png" alt="Hotel" /><br/>';
    ...
?>

Attaching an uploaded image in PHP mail

Here is the solution I came up with. It took a little finessing based on the upload code and attaching files information. Plus I ran into a problem with the headers, but I managed to get it to work and it works well.

    <?php
 if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
 || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"))
 && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 2000000))
   {
   if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
     {
     echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
     }
   else
     {
     echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
     echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
     echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";

     if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
       {
       echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
       }
     else
       {
       move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
       "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
       echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
       echo "<br> File submitted.";
       }
     }
   }
 else
   {
   echo "Invalid file";
   }

            // DO THE MAILING HERE
     $filename = "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
 ;       
 $to3 =     
 $to4 = 
 $subject =     'Sustainability Photo Contest';
 $bound_text =  "dacc1231";
 $bound =   "--".$bound_text."\r\n";
 $bound_last =  "--".$bound_text."--\r\n";

 $headers =     "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$bound_text\"". PHP_EOL;
 $headers .=    "From: noreply@dacc.edu\r\n";

 $fields = array('name','address','city','state','zip','phone','photo','location');

        $greet = "The following was submitted on " . date("F j, Y, g:i a") . "<p>";

        $body = $greet;
        //$cn = 1;

        foreach($fields as $efield) {
            if(isset($_POST[$efield])) {

                if($efield == "name") {
                    $body.= "<strong>Name: </strong>" . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif($efield == "address") {
                    $body.= "<strong>Address:</strong> " . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif($efield == "city") {
                    $body.= "<strong>City:</strong> " . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif ($efield == "state") {
                    $body.= "<strong>State: </strong>" . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif ($efield == "phone") {
                    $body.= "<strong>Daytime Phone Number: </strong>" . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif ($efield == "photo") {
                    $body.= "<strong>Name of Photo: </strong>" . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";
                } elseif ($efield == "location") {
                    $body.= "<strong>Location where Photo was taken:</strong> " . $_POST[$efield] . "<p>";

                }
            }
        }

 $message =     "If you can see this MIME than your client doesn't accept MIME types!\r\n"
.$bound;

 $message .=    "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n"
."Here is a Submission for the Photo Contest\r\n" .$body ."\r\n"

.$bound;     
 $file =     file_get_contents($filename); 

 $message .=    "Content-Type: image/jpg; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n"
."Content-disposition: attachment; file=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"
."\r\n"
.chunk_split(base64_encode($file))
.$bound_last;

 if(mail($to3, $subject, $message,  $headers)
 &&
 mail($to4, $subject, $message,$headers ))
 {
 echo '<br> MAIL SENT';
 } else {
 echo '<br> MAIL FAILED';
 }

        ?>
