Anyone have experience with the PHP mail() function? I had this function written by a contractor awhile back and the email messages look fine in Outlook, but messed up in gmail or mac email clients. The function itself gets passed either an HTML message string or and HTML message string and separate plain text string. If only HTML string is passed, this function just strips the tags to create the plain text version.
This is the snippet from the mail function he wrote that is supposed to work for both plain text and html email clients. I believe the problem is with the headers and I am hoping that someone who has experience with this can easily identify the problem in the way the headers are being formed here - possibly to do with the boundary?
$boundary = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$message_plain = ($message_plain == '') ? strip_tags($message_html) : $message_plain;
$headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="'.$boundary.'"';
$headers .= "\r\n";
$headers .= "--".$boundary."\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= $message_plain."\r\n";
$headers .= "--".$boundary."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/HTML; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= $message_html."\r\n";
$headers .= "--".$boundary."--\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, '', $headers, "-f $from_email");
The HTML message is being duplicated in the resulting email.
Here are the resulting headers in the email message (some details X'd out):
