Bob: Well then you better ask for your money back.

Oh wait. My site is free.

Like it or don't like it people. Go enjoy the sun... maybe even go to the beach. Most importantly, remove that large stick-looking object sticking out of your shorts.

“The point was to learn that you can many times solve your software problems with minimal scripting.”
That to is uninsightful. Your mistake is assuming that you know more than your audience.

It appears to be you who are missing the point. This has been done over and over again. Calling people stupid for acknowledging that fact is an exercise in absurdity.

a good tutorial for rookie but is a vulnerable to spammers. This is just old days codes, nothing new included in it.

This is great, but how would you find out if the mail bounced or not?….and also, how would you send a back up text email along with the html email?

Than you Dan. Luckily for you, you missed the entire point of this post (as well as several other amazingly pessimistic people). The point was to learn that you can many times solve your software problems with minimal scripting.

Cmon' people, let's try and use our brains a little bit now and then.

Oh, and thanks for that SQL injection comment, I'm still rollong over that one. :)

This is not new.
This is not exciting.
This is not even good.
If you are using PHP and don’t know how to send an HTML email and would spend more than 15 seconds researching it you should leave the Internet. Forever.
Serach for “Sending HTML emails” and you’ll find 49 better scripts in the first 50 results.

Hi there,

Just came across your website by having visited the http://shopify.com site and seeing your template there. Very nice!

This site is also very very good. Fantastic design.

Just thought I would let you know that there is a way to send HTML email from Outlook and Entourage.

Links to two that I found on the net. There were more but I downloaded them quite a while ago but due to using Mail nowadays unfortunately do not have them anymore or links to them. I haven’t actually tried these scripts out but they are from the same site that I originally found a script for both Outlook (OS9 - OSX) and Entourage (OSX) from.

http://scriptbuilders.net/files/sendcomplexhtmlx2.0.4.html
http://scriptbuilders.net/files/entouragebulkmailerexample1.0.html

Nowadays due to using Mail though the easiest thing to do is to just visit the page that you want to send by using Safari (There are a couple of other browsers that allow sending the page, I think one is called Shiira?)

You then just go to :

File -> Mail Contents Of This Page

and it will add the page into a Mail email. Doesn’t always work 100% but that is due to the way that the page has been coded. Most will work pretty well though.

Best wishes,

Mark Bowen

I wouldn’t use a script like this, spammers will find it and abuse it to no end.

If you can perform an SQL injection on this script without modifying itâ€™s source code, I will give you $100 million dollars. Flat out.

Hah, that's cheating! There aren't any SQL involved at all! :D

Campaign Monitor provides this service as well (as I found out when I developed exactly the same thing before asking anyone if it already existed…) ;)
