RE: Sending SQL query to email in html small bug - please help

[cyberwar]

Hallo There,

 

I have some code I got from the internet a while ago. The code works as follow:

 

1.) The script runs from the command prompt (Linux) with a contab service

2.) It executes a specified SQL query against a MySQL database server

3.) Formats the output of the result set into an html table

4.) Sends the result to an email address

 

I am not a programmer :-(

I have been using the code with great success for some time, but it has the following bug: On certain email clients it displays as text and not as an html email. Especially on mac operated systems and iPhones/iPADs etc.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

<code starts>

 

<?php

 

//define the receiver of the email

$to = 'receiver@mail.com';

 

//define the subject of the email

$subject = 'My Subject';

 

//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: sernder@mail.com\r\nReply-To: noreply@mail.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; ?>

1. This is probably a bug/misconfiguration on the exchange server or in the iPhone Exchange synchronisation

2. Check the mail set up on iPhone

3. If you have Gmail account – use safari or Google check email

4. Use Swift Mailer it will work.
