Personal web server - The HTML portion of your e-mail follows. Note
The HTML portion of your e-mail follows. Note the double dashes (–) in front of the boundary. Also note the use of two new lines (nn) on the Content-Transfer-Encoding line. Do not neglect those the code will not work correctly without them. $message .= –$boundaryn ; $message .= Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1n ; $message .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitnn ; $message .= $messagebody . n ; Next is the text portion of your e-mail. Note the similarity to the HTML portion. You do not need to include the same $messagebody here. In fact, you would usually include an alternate message in text format. $message .= –$boundaryn ; $message .= Content-Type: text/plain; charset= iso-8859-1 n ; $message .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitnn ; $message .= $messagebody . n ; This is the final boundary. Note the double dashes (–) at the end. This signifies that it s the end of the e-mail. $message .= –$boundary– ; Your boundary in this case was set by the following line: $boundary = ==MP_Bound_xyccr948x== ; Storing Images To create a postcard application, you need to have digital postcards available for the user to choose from.
