AlternativeMultipart-Messages with personalized Bodyparts

Hi all,

have used the classes a long time for sending my newsletters in Plain/Text with personalized Bodyparts via SMTP. Now I want to switch to AlternativeMultipart-Messages (HTML with Inline-Images).

In the old Script I used this code like in package examples:

// Create replacementpart for PersonalizedBulkmails
$message=$hn->file2string($MAIL_TEMPLATE);
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableTextPart($message,"",$text_part);
$email_message->AddPart($text_part);

$email_message->SetBulkMail(1);

... and while looping through the recipients:
/* Create a personalized body part. */
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableTextPart($email_message->WrapText($body),"",$recipient_text_part);
/* Make the personalized replace the initially empty part */
$email_message->ReplacePart($text_part,$recipient_text_part);


Now, in the new script, I have to create an alternative PlainText-Body additionally to the HTML-Body with inline-images. So, haven't checked out how I have to do the replacement-parts in both bodies (plain and html) to personalize them.

New Scriptcode, to create a single AlternativeMultipart-Mimemessage works fine:

$HTML_TEMPLATE = file_get_contents('./briefpapier_01.html');
$HEADER_LOGO = embedd_image(dirname(__FILE__).'/nogajski_logo.jpg', $part_cid_01);

$HTML_BODY = str_replace(array('[HEADER_LOGO]','[BODY]','[FOOTER]'), array($HEADER_LOGO,$BODY,$FOOTER),$HTML_TEMPLATE);
$TEXT_BODY = isset($TEXT_BODY) ? $TEXT_BODY : $email_message->WrapText(trim(strip_tags($BODY."\r\n".$FOOTER)));

// create alternative Bodyparts
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableTextPart($TEXT_BODY,'iso-8859-1',$part_body_text);
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableHTMLPart($HTML_BODY,'iso-8859-1',$part_body_html);
$a = array($part_body_text,$part_body_html);
$email_message->CreateAlternativeMultipart($a,$part_body_alternative);

// add combined Bodypart and related Images
$a = array($part_body_alternative,$part_cid_01);
$email_message->AddRelatedMultipart($a);


Did someone know how to do the replacement and can tell me please?

If you do not change the images, all you need to do is to use the cid:image_id convention in the link URL in the HTML part. Other than that, the ReplacePart function will take care of using the new personalized text or HTML parts.

Hi Manuel,

many thanks for the quick reply. (And also for the great classes ;-) )

Yes, it works perfectly, because the images are not personalized, so I have only to create the two personalized Bodyparts and replace the initially added parts with them.


/* Create personalized body parts */
$part_body_html_personalized = str_replace($search,$replace,$HTML_BODY);
$part_body_text_personalized = str_replace($search,$replace,$TEXT_BODY);
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableHtmlPart($part_body_html_personalized,'iso-8859-1',$part_body_html_personalized_id);
$email_message->CreateQuotedPrintableTextPart($part_body_text_personalized,'iso-8859-1',$part_body_text_personalized_id);

/* Make the personalized replace the initially empty parts */
$email_message->ReplacePart($part_body_html_id,$part_body_html_personalized_id);
$email_message->ReplacePart($part_body_text_id,$part_body_text_personalized_id);


Once more: thanks!

Horst
