I agree, PHPMailer is excellent.

Browse All TopicsHi , I am having some problem with my php mail scripting.
I want an email with HTML and plain text version to be displayed according to the email client - if it has html options on, use html version other wise use text version.
The script works fine with my outlook - which picks up the html version and ignores the text version.
but in my other online mail client which doesnt have html render turned on, it displays everything from the ob_start(); as plain txt, also my attachement (a pdf file) was displayed as encoding as well.
Is it a problem with my php version on the server? I m currenlty having php 4.3 installed.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
I would strongly suggest using the PHPMailer class which is available at http://phpmailer.sf.net
PHPMailer will handle encoding for the text and Html versions if they exist, along with one or more attachments. It has many other benefits as well. I've used it for 6 years with great success.
