Perl Guru's
i have a script that uses the print command to send out email
how do i modify it to print out html? this is a sample print MAIL "Hello,\n"; print MAIL " Thank you for joining $sitename:\n"; print MAIL "\n"; print MAIL " Your details are below:\n\n"; now i want to insert html below this and then resume the email |
The email will have to be sent in either HTML OR plain text. What you'll need to do to send email in HTML is find the line
print MAIL "Subject: WHATEVER \n\n"; and below it add print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; Make SURE you remove one of the newlines from the subject line so you end up with print MAIL "Subject: WHATEVER \n"; print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; |
thanks bro

i had to do it this way armed
i kept fucking with it till i got it print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n"; print MAIL "To: $emailok\n"; print MAIL "From: $adminmail\n"; print MAIL "Subject: $sitename\n\n"; i read the content type has to be the first thing sent then i figured the to from and subject gotto go next then the html :thumbsup |
If you're going to be sending html emails you might want to consider reading up on mime encoding. Here's a sample message that contains a plain text section and an html section. Just make sure your boundry tag is something that would never occur in the text of either message.

geez that would take alot of work
would that even work with a perl generated email? |
It may, I don't understand the purpose of doing that though. To be honest, I have never fucked with it. In my line of work, there is no reason to send out a multipart email. I either send in text OR HTML. Not saying the other way won't work, just saying I have never done that.
Also, looks like your problem was the two newlines after the subject. Had you done print MAIL "Subject: WHATEVER \n"; print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; It would have worked, but I suspect you left the two newlines in the subject line which would signify the end of the email header before the content type was specified. |
yeah i tried it exactly like you said.
it didnt work maybe it was the way the free script was wrote. i'm just hacking it to send html mail |
