Development Problems with HTML e-mail sending (PHP)

I was using this function fine on a hosting account with 1&1 for a while (http://www.web-max.ca/PHP/misc_20.php), now I have moved the site over to a dedicated server (FC6) only to find that the messages it sends don't seem to get decoded by Outlook (or anything i've tried), you just see the source of the message - 'Content-Type: multipart/'... etc.

I guess it is something on the server that is different, as far as I can see all the php.ini values are in order, and don't have a clue where to look now. All suggestions welcome!

 

If you can, post the source that outlook is receiving or that is being sent.

 

Sure, this is the source of a message received.

Code:

This is a MIME encoded message.



--HTMLEMAIL4683b51589292

--HTMLEMAIL4683b51589292

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Could it be something to do with the character set/encoding? I remember having to change that used by Apache when I first setup the server due to pound signs not displaying correctly.

 

You could try using UTF-8, I'm not sure if it will work though.

 

Are you missing --HTMLEMAIL4683b51589292-- at the end?

 

your sending a content-type of text/plain and a content-type of text/html

try removing the text/plain and only send the one content-type header

and using a utf-8 wouldnt hurt
