Pear Mail, how to send plain/text + text/html in UTF-8
I'm trying to send an email in both text and html, but I can't correctly send the right headers. In particular, I'd like to set the Content-Type header, but I can't find how to set it separately for html and text parts.
This is my code:
$headers = array(
'From' => '[email protected]',
'Return-Path' => '[email protected]',
'Subject' => 'mysubject',
'text_encoding' => '7bit',
'text_charset' => 'UTF-8',
'html_charset' => 'UTF-8',
'head_charset' => 'UTF-8',
'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
);
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$html = '<html><body><b>my body</b></body></html>';
$text = 'my body';
$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $GLOBALS['pear_mail_config']);
$mail_object->send('[email protected]', $headers, $body);
That's the email I get:
From: [email protected]
Subject: mysubject
text_encoding: 7bit
text_charset: UTF-8
html_charset: UTF-8
head_charset: UTF-8
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="=_7adf2d854b1ad792c802a9db31084520"

It seems that the Content-Type header I set is totally ignored. I'd have expected some setHTMLHeaders and setTXTHeaders functions, but it seems like there's nothing like this. Am I missing something? How can I set both Content-Type headers to UTF-8?
Answer
I discovered that the headers are supposed to be written differently. In particular, some of them are parameters for the mime object, and not email headers. Then the mime_params array should be passed to the get() function.
This is the correct way to set the headers:
$headers = array(
'From' => '[email protected]',
'Return-Path' => '[email protected]',
'Subject' => 'mysubject',
'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
);
$mime_params = array(
'text_encoding' => '7bit',
'text_charset' => 'UTF-8',
'html_charset' => 'UTF-8',
'head_charset' => 'UTF-8'
);
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$html = '<html><body><b>my body</b></body></html>';
$text = 'my body';
$mime->setTXTBody($text);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$body = $mime->get($mime_params);
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $GLOBALS['pear_mail_config']);
$mail_object->send('[email protected]', $headers, $body);
