[ZendTo] HTML Email

[Karl Bundy]

Jules,

All I did was create the new email template, added a new function to the NSSDropbox.php file (see below) based on the existing deliverEmail function, then changed the NSSDropoff.php file to use the new function and new template.  I did not embed/attach the image files, just set the URL in the HTML template.  There are more sophisticated ways to send HTML email, but the Mail function has the basics to get the job done.


/*!
   @function deliverEmailHTML

   Send the $content of in an HTML formatted email message to (one or more) address(es) in $toAddr.
*/
public function deliverEmailHTML(
   $toAddr,
   $fromAddr,
   $subject,
   $content,
   $headers = ""
)
{
// If it contains any characters outside 0x00-0x7f, then encode it
if (preg_match('/[^\x00-\x7f]/', $subject)) {
   $subject = "=?UTF-8?B?".base64_encode(html_entity_decode($subject))."?=";
}
if (preg_match('/[^\x00-\x7f]/', $fromAddr)) {
   $fromAddr = "=?UTF-8?B?".base64_encode(html_entity_decode($fromAddr))."?=";
}
if (preg_match('/[^\x00-\x7f]/', $this->_emailSenderAddr)) {
   $sender = "=?UTF-8?B?".base64_encode(html_entity_decode($this->_emailSenderAddr))."?=";
} else {
   $sender = $this->_emailSenderAddr;
}

// Add the From: and Reply-To: headers if they have been supplied.
if ($fromAddr!="") {
   $headers = sprintf("From: %s", $sender) . PHP_EOL .
      sprintf("Reply-to: %s", $fromAddr) . PHP_EOL .
      $headers;
}

// Add the MIME headers for 8-bit UTF-8 encoding
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0".PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".PHP_EOL;

return mail(
   $toAddr,
   $subject,
   $content,
   $headers // JKF Commented out for now due to security concerns ,
   // JKF Commented out for now due to security concerns
    // '-f "'.$fromAddr.'"'
    );
}

Karl,

Yes, I agree this would be nice. I basically haven't had time to sort it all out. As I need to make the message a multipart MIME structure, the email templates get a *lot* more complicated.

What did you have to change except for any templates/*.tpl files?
Any changes you make to the *.tpl files will not be overwritten when you upgrade later.

So any hints you've got as to what I need to change in order to support the massively more complex MIME messages, please do let me know.

Thanks!
Jules.

Jules,



Thanks for all of your ongoing work on ZendTo, it has been a huge benefit for our team, and to the whole user community!



A feature request that I would love to see is the option for HTML formatted email notices.  They give a bit of polish to the system and oddly enough seem to give our users a bit more confidence in the system.  I have hacked our instance to send HTML formatted emails (see screenshot below) and I while what I have works fine, it would be great if this type of functionality was built-in to the system so that I don't have to add back this functionality anytime we do upgrades.
