   Thanks for your post on ‘Inline images are displayed as attachments’ … we have REALLY battled to find any help on attaching images inline with the zend_mail… do you by any chance have a full example of how you attached the images into the body, without the image showing as a jpeg?
   thanks a mill!!

   @Wayne: I try to extract the important things from my script for you.
   Here’s how to determine the image type:

   // getimagesize returns false, if the URL does not exist if (file_exists($imagePath) || getimagesize($imagePath)) { $image = file_get_contents($imagePath); if (function_exists('exif_imagetype') && function_exists('image_type_to_mime_type')) { $imageType = image_type_to_mime_type(exif_imagetype($imagePath)); } }

   I did this to replace all image-tags in my mail template with references to the attached images (cid):

   if (!is_null($image)) { $cid = md5($image) .'.'. md5(microtime()); $images[$cid] = array($image, $imageType); if (trim($src[1]) == '' && trim($src[2]) != '') { $templateMessageTemp = preg_replace('/(<img\\s[^>]*src=)(?:"' . preg_quote($src[2], '/') .'"|\\\''. preg_quote($src[2], '/') .'\\\')([^>]*>)/i', '${1}"cid:'. $cid .'"${2}', $templateMessage); } elseif (trim($src[1]) != '') { $templateMessageTemp = preg_replace('/(<img\\s[^>]*src=)(?:"' . preg_quote($src[1], '/') .'"|\\\''. preg_quote($src[1], '/') .'\\\')([^>]*>)/i', '${1}"cid:'. $cid .'"${2}', $templateMessage); } if ($templateMessageTemp == $templateMessage) { // nothing was replaced (duplicate images whas used), ignore this image unset($images[$cid]); } $templateMessage = $templateMessageTemp; }

   Here is how I attached the images with the right cid:

   // attach images foreach ($images as $cid => $image) { $imageData = $image[0]; $imageType = $image[1]; if ($imageType === false) { $at = $mail->createAttachment($imageData); } else { $at = $mail->createAttachment($imageData, $imageType, Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE, Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64); } $at->id = $cid; }

   I hope this helps you!

   Thank you for posting the hint about
   $mail->setType(Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED);

   I tried for hours to send a mail with inline images and this was the only thing I did not do.
   After adding this line it worked perfectly, thanks again!

   I found this helpful but I think it’s slightly simpler in Zend Framework 1.7. This seemed to work for me:

   $mail = new Zend_Mail(); $msg = 'This image should be inline.'; $image = file_get_contents('image.gif'); $im = $mail->createAttachment($image, 'image/gif', Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE, Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64); $im->id = 'someid'; $mail->setBodyHtml($msg) ->send();

   It seems that the HTML tags got removed from my last post.

   I would suggest using htmlentities() instead of strip_tags()

   Thanks for the suggestion Ben. It’s actually the blogging software “WordPress” that strips all but a few styling tags. I would search for or write a plugin that replaces strip_tags() with htmlentities(), but that would take away the option to post formatted comments.
   Thank you for your comments, Ben!

   $mail->setType(Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED);

   ^ That was exactly what was missing from my emails. Thanks!

   Thank you so much! Didn’t know about the multipart/related type and that this is important for thunderbird to display properly inline images. Nice website but the black background makes it kind of hard to read

    Thanks for the feedback Giannis, I’ll consider a white background next time I change my template!

    But how exactly do you use those attached images within the body html?

    Randell, you attach them to your mail.
    Here’s the documentation for attaching files in Zend_Mail.

    Hi:

    After several hours struggling with this, I found this post and all worked like a charm.

    I’m using zend Framework 1.11.3

    My working code is this:

    $mailImage = file_get_contents('path/to/filename');
$at = new Zend_Mime_Part($mailImage);
$at->type = 'image/jpeg';
$at->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
$at->encoding = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
$mail = new Zend_Mail('utf-8');
$mail->setType(Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED);
//$mail->setBodyText('This is the text of the mail.');
$mail->setBodyHtml($mailHtml, null, Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_RELATED);
$mail->setFrom('from@mail', 'Some Sender');
$mail->addTo('to@mail', 'Some Recipient');
$mail->setSubject("mailSubject");
$mail->addAttachment($at);
$mail->send();


    Hope it helps someone.
