i really dislike how most mail clients will not display images in emails that are referenced remotely. ok, maybe they’re protecting me from my stupidity… but … argh.
so i’d like to attach the image, and i’ve found documentation for doing so using phpmailer.php:
require_once("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->AddEmbeddedImage('glenn_header.jpg','header','header','base64','image/jpeg');
and then in the actual body i just reference it as such
<img src="cid:header'>
but every time i try this, it fails.
in fact, i can’t seem to get phpMailer to work at all… is it possible that with my yahoo business account, i don’t have access to it? or that, god forbid, they don’t even have it installed?
i can certainly send out emails using the basic:
mail($sendtoemail, $subject, $mailBody, $headers);
but i haven’t found any way to attach files through this basic mail function. is there a way to attach and embed images inline through this more bare bones function?
so i’m missing something simple. perhaps it’s just that i can’t use the phpMailer class. wtf yahoo?
thanks in advance homies
