Display images in email using mail() in PHP

Question

How do I display images in an email using the mail() function in PHP?

Does putting <img src="image path" /> work?

Do you want to attach image with the email? or you could use any image residing on web. If the image is on Web, just use the Tag — asami, May 03 '11 at 11:46

You need to set the headers to tell it that it's HTML. You can do this by:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

and then send with

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

so you pass the headers as a string to the 4th parameter of mail().

You should set the relevant character encoding in charset, and also provide a text version if this is going to end users.
