How to send email with text/plain, text/html and attaches in zf2 ? I use this code to send email with smtp:

$files = $this->params()->fromFiles();
$smtp = new \Zend\Mail\Transport\Smtp();
$smtp->setAutoDisconnect(true);
$optn = new \Zend\Mail\Transport\SmtpOptions(array(
    'host'              => 'mail.myserver.com',
    'connection_class'  => 'login',
    'connection_config' => array(
        'username' => '[email protected]',
        'password' => 'mypassword',
    ),
));
$smtp->setOptions($optn);


$htmlPart = new \Zend\Mime\Part('<p>some html</p>');
$htmlPart->type = Mime::TYPE_HTML;

$textPart = new \Zend\Mime\Part('some text');
$textPart->type = Mime::TYPE_TEXT;

$i=0;
$attaches = array();
foreach($files as $file){
    if ($file['error'])
        continue;
    $attaches[$i] = new \Zend\Mime\Part(file_get_contents($file['tmp_name']));
    $attaches[$i]->type = $file['type'].'; name="'.$file['name'].'"';
    $attaches[$i]->encoding = 'base64';
    $attaches[$i]->disposition = 'attachment';
    $attaches[$i]->filename = $file['name'];
    $i++;
}

$parts = array();
if (count($attaches)>0) {
    $parts = array_merge(array($textPart,$htmlPart),$attaches);
    $type = Mime::MULTIPART_MIXED;
}
else{
    $parts = array($textPart, $htmlPart);
    $type = Mime::MULTIPART_ALTERNATIVE ;
}
$body = new \Zend\Mime\Message();
$body->setParts($parts);

$message = new \Zend\Mail\Message();
$message->setFrom('[email protected]');
$message->addTo('[email protected]');
$message->setSubject('subject');
$message->setEncoding("UTF-8");
$message->setBody($body);
$message->getHeaders()->get('content-type')->setType($type);

$smtp->send($message);

If I attach files, it sends files and contents but it shows plain and html text together in receiver inbox:

<p>some html</p>
some text

When I don't attach any files, it shows html text singly:

some html

Any help?

Currently there is no easy way in ZF2 (2.2) to combine a multipart/alternative body (html with text alternative for clients that cannot/do-not-want-to use html) with attachments. If you add the 'multipart/alternative' content-type header to the entire message, in some email clients the attachment (link) will not be displayed.

The solution is to split the message in two, the body (text and html) and the attachment:

http://jw-dev.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/zf2-zend-mail-multipartalternative-and.html

an example:

        $content  = new MimeMessage();
        $htmlPart = new MimePart("<html><body><p>Sorry,</p><p>I'm going to be late today!</p></body></html>");
        $htmlPart->type = 'text/html';
        $textPart = new MimePart("Sorry, I'm going to be late today!");
        $textPart->type = 'text/plain';
        $content->setParts(array($textPart, $htmlPart));

        $contentPart = new MimePart($content->generateMessage());        
        $contentPart->type = 'multipart/alternative;' . PHP_EOL . ' boundary="' . $content->getMime()->boundary() . '"';

        $attachment = new MimePart(fopen('/path/to/test.pdf', 'r'));
        $attachment->type = 'application/pdf';
        $attachment->encoding    = Mime::ENCODING_BASE64;
        $attachment->disposition = Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT;

        $body = new MimeMessage();
        $body->setParts(array($contentPart, $attachment));

        $message = new Message();
        $message->setEncoding('utf-8')
        ->addTo('[email protected]')
        ->addFrom('[email protected]')
        ->setSubject('will be late')
        ->setBody($body);

        $transport = new SmtpTransport();
        $options   = new SmtpOptions($transportConfig),
        ));

        $transport->setOptions($options);
        $transport->send($message);

For the above you would need the following use statements:

use Zend\Mail\Message;
use Zend\Mail\Transport\Smtp as SmtpTransport;
use Zend\Mail\Transport\SmtpOptions;
use Zend\Mime\Mime;
use Zend\Mime\Part as MimePart;
use Zend\Mime\Message as MimeMessage;

ZF1 had a _buildBody() method in Zend_Mail_Transport_Abstract which did this automatically.
