PHP Email Step By Step Tutorial: Today, many spammers use software that scours websites looking for email address on pages. When found, they will send spam to these addresses. Several way may be can used such as add the text "NOSPAM" into email. In this post, we will use JavaScript as tactic. We convert the entire link into ASCII codes, save them in a JavaScript array, and then use JavaScript to turn it back into HTML.
Send Mass PHP Email Tutorial: May be you need to send out an email to many people (such as newsletter or birthday invitation). It is not efficient if we use multiple mail() for this job. Each call to mail() generates a separate call to sendmail on UNIX or a separate connection to an SMTP server on Windows.
May we don't want to display all email address at 'to'. We can modify by using dummy email address, like mailing-list@example.com. Then include everyone else as a Bcc onto this message. The mail server will handle this Bcc, parsing it and ensuring that everyone on the list receives a copy.
PHP Email Tutorial: We ever talk how about send email with attachment. Now, in this post, we want to send email where there is images in there as embedded images. Usually, you get this kind of email from newsletter. So, after read this post, you can build your own newsletter.
Before we write line codes, we must understand following anatomy of email that use embedded images:
01 | <?php |
02 | // Setting a timezone, mail() uses this. |
03 | date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); |
04 | // recipients |
05 | $to = "you@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com" . ", " ; // note the comma |
06 | $to .= "we@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com"; |
07 |
08 | // subject |
09 | $subject = "Test for Embedded Image & Attachement"; |
10 |
11 | // Create a boundary string. It needs to be unique |
12 | $sep = sha1(date('r', time())); |
13 |
14 | // Add in our content boundary, and mime type specification: |
15 | $headers .= |
16 | "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; |
17 | boundary=\"PHP-mixed-{$sep}\""; |
18 |
19 | // Read in our file attachment |
20 | $attachment = file_get_contents('attachment.zip'); |
21 | $encoded = base64_encode($attachment); |
22 | $attached = chunk_split($encoded); |
23 |
24 | // additional headers |
25 | $headers .= "To: You <you@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com>, |
26 | We <we@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com>\r\n"; |
27 | $headers .= "From: Me <me@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com>\r\n"; |
28 | $headers .= "Cc: he@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com\r\n"; |
29 | $headers .= "Bcc: she@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com\r\n"; |
30 |
31 | $inline = chunk_split(base64_encode( |
32 | file_get_contents('mypicture.gif'))); |
33 |
34 | // Your message here: |
35 | $body =<<<EOBODY |
36 | --PHP-mixed-{$sep} |
37 | Content-Type: multipart/alternative; |
38 | boundary="PHP-alt-{$sep}" |
39 |
40 | --PHP-alt-{$sep} |
41 | Content-Type: text/plain |
42 |
43 | Hai, It's me! |
44 |
45 |
46 | --PHP-alt-{$sep} |
47 | Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="PHP-related-{$sep}" |
48 |
49 | --PHP-alt-{$sep} |
50 | Content-Type: text/html |
51 |
52 | <html> |
53 | <head> |
54 | <title>Test HTML Mail</title> |
55 | </head> |
56 | <body> |
57 | <font color='red'>Hai, it is me!</font> |
58 | Here is my picture: |
59 | <img src="cid:PHP-CID-{$sep}" /> |
60 | </body> |
61 | </html> |
62 | |
63 | --PHP-related-{$sep} |
64 | Content-Type: image/gif |
65 | Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 |
66 | Content-ID: <PHP-CID-{$sep}> |
67 | |
68 | {$inline} |
69 | --PHP-related-{$sep}-- |
70 | |
71 | --PHP-alt-{$sep}-- |
72 |
73 | --PHP-mixed-{$sep} |
74 | Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip" |
75 | Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 |
76 | Content-Disposition: attachment |
77 |
78 | {$attached} |
79 |
80 | --PHP-mixed-{$sep}-- |
81 | EOBODY; |
82 | |
83 | // Finally, send the email |
84 | mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); |
85 | ?> |
86 | </me@miscellaneous4all.blogspot.com> |
