    PHP, mail and multi-mime types

    I'm tring to send out a dual encoded message in html and text message.
    From everything that I have read and seen as incoming messages this
    should work but it doesn't. Any ideas?

    TIA,

    Gary Smith

    <?php
    // generate MIME boundary
    echo uniqid(time()). "<br>";
    $boundary = "----=".md5(uniqid(t ime()))."";

    // set email headers
    $header = "Return-Path: jack_t1234@adnd realm.net\r\n";
    $header.= "From: Theo <jack_t1234@adn drealm.net>\r\n ";
    $header.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header.= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\r\ n
    boundary=\"$bou ndary\"\r\n";
    // set text section
    $txt_head = $boundary."\r\n ";
    $txt_head.= "Content-Type: text/plain;\r\n
    charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
    $txt_head.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n\r \n";
    $txt_head.= "some simple text\r\n";
    // set html section
    $htm_head = $boundary."\r\n ";
    $htm_head.= "Content-Type: text/html;\r\n
    charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
    $htm_head.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printables\r\n\ r\n";
    $htm_head.= "<html><body><f ont
    size=3>Hello</font></body></html>\r\n\r\n";
    // combine headers & message
    $mesg = $txt_head.$htm_ head.$boundary. "--";
    // send email out
    mail ("jack_t1234@ad ndrealm.net","t est with dual
    encoding",$mesg ,$header);

    ?>

      From the typos, misunderstandin gs, or just plain mistakes -- I can't
      discern which is which -- I'd suggest you either (re)read RFCs 2045-
      49 or use a purpose-built class[1]. If I were you, I'd reconsider
      using pseudo-HTML at all in email.

          Look at the complete email that is sent, and look for errors there.

              Re: PHP, mail and multi-mime types

              I found my bug prior to your posting (it was the boundary requiring an
              additional "--" prior to each segment. Just something I overlooked I
              guess.

              The sample in the link is much better than mine so I'll just
              snippet... :)
