I am trying to send a simple HTML e-mail from PHP. The code below simply results in a blank e-mail in GMail. It also has an empty attachment called 'noname', which is not at all what I want; though that might just be a symptom of it not working.
The code I am using is:
<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'morrillkevin@gmail.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test HTML email';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b>formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
Following code is working for me to remove HTML Tags in mail.
It turns out the key is the encoding type. Instead of:
I needed to use:
It might depend on stuff as detailed as how you save the PHP file in your own text editor. I haven't looked into it, but the iconv function in PHP may have brought me some joy too. So I think this part is really sensitive.
Here is a better snippet of sample code that shows the whole thing end-to-end:

If possible use the PHPMailer class. It will greatly simplify your work.
If using a library is not a problem just use Swift Mailer
You have to specify the mime-type within the headers-parameter of the mail-function. Add this:
It's also shown in the PHP-Documentation for the mail-function. See example 4
There is something important I want to notice about charsets here:
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset = \"UTF-8\";\n"is right and not only
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"Hope I could help other people who frustrate while searching the same mistake like me.
Remember also to write only \r for windows and not for Linux-Servers. And at the end of the header should be an extra blank line:
