Hi all,

 

Im wrapping up the final parts of my PHP file which runs my form on the latest website im developing.

 

The form itself is working a gem, however the client has requested an automatic response email to be sent to the person who fills out the form. This I have working also.

 

However ive got two queries for my auto-response script within the PHP file which is bugging me.

 

1) How do you add an image so it will show up on the Automatic-Response?

 

2) How can you prevent the Auto-response message sending to the recipients spam box?

 

Thanks in advance for all your help.

 

Chris.

Anybody?

Bump.

My PHP knowledge is limited, I don't know how you would get an image into the email sent as an auto-response as the PHP is for text only. Have you tried a variable like this:-

 

$replymsg = 'Thank you for your email submission. <a hef=\"http://www.your-domain.com/image.jpg\">Image description</a>' ;

 

Where the "a" tag has the " disabled by \ so it doesn't affect the PHP code. It should create a link to the image, but not display it in the email. I haven't tested this. I think to show the image in the email like an html email with <img src=\"http://www.your-domain.com/image.jpg\" alt=\"image description\"> will depend on the contract you have with your ISP, which may not allow html emails showing images.

 

I would do it by having a separate "Thank You" page which would then have the image in it, in addition to the response email which would be only text.

 

See item 1b here:-

where the thankyou.html page is shown after the form data is sent by email to you and to the person submitting the form data.

Ive found something called ImageMagick which may be able to help me if anybody knows anything more on it?
