I am trying to send and email text or/and html versions..

What I do is this:

 $bodyHTML = "
 --PHP-alt-$random_hash 
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset='iso-8859-1' 
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

http://example.com/app_dl.php?app_id=$_GET[app_id] to download your $app_name app \n\r

  --PHP-alt-$random_hash 
 Content-Type: text/html; charset='iso-8859-1'
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

 <p><a href='http://example.com/app_dl.php?app_id=$_GET[app_id]'>Click Here</a> to download your $app_name app</p>

  --PHP-alt-$random_hash ";
endif;

The problem is that I see all those header lines..content type..and the text lines fail to be formatted with ‘\n\r’..

Also, I dont know if I can achieve the effect that if one version fails.. html or txt,,then the other version will appear.. thanks for the help

Here is some of the code:

 $random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); 
 $boundary="PHP-alt-".$random_hash;
 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'Content-Type'=>  'multipart/alternative',
   'boundary'=>$boundary,  
   'To' => $to,
    'Return-Path' => 'info@example.com',
   'Subject' => $subject);

Other details such as sender, pass , title,,arent relevant..so I didnt present them here..

    Don’t roll your own MIME handling. Use a library instead of reinventing the wheel.

    I understand that Swift is the usual option in PHP land.

    That said, I suspect the problem has something to do with the whitespace before your MIME boundary markers and headers. Try removing it.

    Also your last MIME boundary is missing the -- at the end.

    Really, really, use a robust, well tested, third party library for this stuff. There is just too much fiddly stuff you can get wrong.
