hi
my question is about send an email with php like a newsletter, when we read
a newsletter email its similar to a webpage which contains content, images,
css and other elements
i created a static webpage initially with html css and images folder after
creating the page i wanted to test to see how it would look if i were to
send this as an email like a newsletter.
so i have created a php file with
$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$to="myemailaddress";
$subject="Email Newsletter";
and
$message as mentioned above has the entire html code as i used it in my
static html page
i also copied the style.css in the server and created images folder and
copied all the images i used in my static page to the server.
i created a separate folder in my webserver called newsletter and copied the
php file, css file and images folder with the images i used
when i accessed the index.php as http://website.com/emailnewsletter i am
getting a message that The email has been sent and i am getting the email
however my question is when i open this email the styles and images are not
being applied and i see only the text in the static page i created.
can someone let me know how i can fix this so that when i open the email it
would look like the static page i created with all the styles applies and
images displayed
is this only possible by using specialized email softwares or can it be done
by php as well with the logic used.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks

Hi Suhakar,
>
Relative URLs won't work - when it's rendered inside the e-mail client, =
the relative URL has no meaning (I believe Outlook renders relative URLs =
relative to the temporary directory the HTML is being rendered in.) =
Other clients may do it relative to an imap://.... URL.
Try uploading the images and stylesheet to your website and putting them =
within the newsletter as absolute URLs (including the images) - e.g. =
href=3D"http://www.yourwebsite.com/style.css" />
Also I know this is OT and is completely up to you, but remember to =
include a plain-text part, and also realise that a lot of mail clients =
don't render images/stylesheets by default - therefore straight after =
the
tag before the rest of the content, put a link to an external =
website where recipients can view the content online.
Regards,
Andy

No. You must have noticed gmail saying "images are blocked from .. ". This
is done to prevent spammers from knowing if your email is authentic or not.
Moreover you must have also noticed that all the news letters have a link
pointing to a web page version of the newsletter.

is a straight-ahead overview of what you can/should/cant/shouldn't do
in HTML e-mails.
Or check out:

for some heavy-duty mail classes (be sure to check the "See Also"
section for the full story).
I also referenced the following:
