I have modified the code in the 'sticky' on uploading images so that I am sent an e-mail when someone does so. I would like to include a copy of the image in that e-mail, but find MIME types and the PHP Manual in that area heavy going. I can put a link to the image in my e-mail message, but want it to be HTML so that I can see the image itself in the message. I can do the coding for any necessary resizing of the image. I am sure the answer is simple once you know how.

If you have the image hosted somewhere on the internet, just include it in your html source as usual


<img src="http://www.domain.com/where_image_is/img.jpg">

I've already done that bit, but how do I get the e-mail that is sent to me to accept HTML? In other words, how do I make it an HTML e-mail as opposed to plain text?

you cannot control whether the user will accept HTML emails or not,
the most you can do is have an alternate text version of the email available

If I am sending an html e-mail I always send a mime e-mail with plain text as well because not everyone can read html e-mails.

The e-mail to be sent to me as the sole recipient and I wish to receive it in HTML format so that I can include with the text a single image using the <img> tag already discussed.

function HTMLemail($to, $subject, $content, $headers = null)
{
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$message = '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">'."\n".
'<html>'."\n".
'<head>'."\n".
'<title></title>'."\n".
'</head>'."\n".
'<body>'."\n".
"{$content}\n".
'</body>'."\n".
'</html>'."\n";
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
