Sending mail with images - PHP

[PoorDoggie]

I have a php script that sends an HTML email (using mail()) and for some reason the images don't show up. I have used standard HTML code:

<img src="this.gif" alt="Some alt text" />

but for some reason it won't show up. The message just shows the "alt" text as normal text.

Is there something I have to do to show the images, a header perhaps?

Thanks
Tom

s'alright... I think I know what the problem is...

my image code is:

<img src="images/this.gif"> in an email I suppose you need <img src="http://mysite.com/images/this.gif"> - lol I am silly!

Scroll down or here it is:

Example 4. Sending HTML email

It is also possible to send HTML email with mail().

<?php
// multiple recipients
$to = '[email protected]' . ', '; // note the comma
$to .= '[email protected]';

// subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';

// message
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <[email protected]>, Kelly <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
