I am working with laravel below is steps which I have followed,
I am using editor for emails to user,
from editor I have upload image,
that image is uploaded as base64 format
I am sending that editor content in email to user
I have checked that base64 string is correct and showing me image
also able to display that image with my system
but when I am going to send that image in email ,
that image is not visible for me.
I have checked there in image src attribute, there is showing like -
<img style="width:224px">
in gmail ,here src attribute is removed ,but I have checked that tag befor send email , there was src tag with proper base64 encoded string
Please help me to show image in email ,
To send mail I am using laravel own configuration for email as below,
use App\Events\SendMail;
$mailData['toName'] = $toUserFullname;
$mailData['toEmail'] = $toEmail;
$mailData['fromName'] = $fromName;
$mailData['fromEmail'] = $fromEmail;
$mailData['emailSubject'] = $templateData['email_subject'];
$mailData['emailContent'] = $templateData['email_body'];
\Event::fire(new SendMail($mailData));
Base64 encoded images are not well supported in emails. They aren't supported in most web email clients (including Gmail) and are completely blocked in Outlook.
So the first solution that comes to my mind is to create actual image file from base64 string before sending email. Something like that colud help:
$filename_path = md5(time().uniqid()).".jpg";
$decoded=base64_decode($base64_string_img);
file_put_contents("path/to/save/image/".$filename_path,$decoded);
You also shouldn't forget to unlink this images in case you don't need them after.
You can also try using inline attachemnts.
<img src="{{ $message->embedData($data, $name) }}">

I am attempting to attach an image/show the image in the email template using base64 so that I don't have to store the file, but I am not having luck.
The image gets successfully attached with the proper file size/name in Gmail, however the image is broken and never actually shows.
The image set in the img tag on the email template also does not display properly.
Rubric for both examples:
The data field is the base64 string, which looks like: data:image/gif;base64,AJHDJsdlksdAK....
The name is the name of the file.
The mime would be like image/gif.
Here is what I am trying the template (the first shows a broken image, the second renders the image with the proper base64 string but everything is in plain text as opposed to being interpreted as HTML):
<img src="{{$message->embedData($inputs['picture']['data'], $inputs['picture']['name'])}}">
<img src="{{$inputs['picture']['data']}}">
Here is the Mailer class:
return $this->from('myemail#domain.com')
->attachData($picture['data'], $picture['name'], [
'mime' => $picture['mime']
])
->view('form.submitted')
->with($data);
What am I doing wrong here? I am following everything exactly as it shows in the Laravel Documentation for mail under Attachments.
You have to decode data once attaching:
->attach(base64_decode($picture['data']), 'Blah'))
I'm trying to send a .png image to my user via phpmailer. The image is shown when I use <img> tags, but I want it to display as a real attachment that the user can open/save/print (like in this screenshot). I read that I can use $mail->addStringAttachment for this. So I tried this, and it does send an attachment with the email, but when I try to open it, it says that Windows Picture Viewer can't open the file. Also saving to my computer and then opening with Paint doesn't work, it tells me thats not a valid file or something. I think this is because it's no static image, but an image generated by an API, namely:
$qr = 'http://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=' . $guid . '&size=250x250';
So this image should be sent as an attachment. Does anyone know how I can make this work?
I got it to work fine as an attachment by doing the following:
$qr = file_get_contents("https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=150x150&data=Example");
$mail->addStringAttachment($qr, "qr.png");
The reason it's failing is that you're trying to attach the URL as image data. You need to fetch the data from the URL first, then attach it to something.
Go one step at a time - make sure that you're getting back valid image before trying to email it - e.g.
file_put_contents('qr.png', file_get_contents($qr));
and make sure you get a valid image saved in there. When you know that's working, then try and email it with
$mail->addStringAttachment(file_get_contents($qr) 'qr.png');
Though perhaps with a bit more error checking!

How to embed images in email
How to embed images in html email
Embed images for use in email message using PHP?
I am sending HTML emails using php. I want to use embedded images in the HTML. Is it possible? I have tried lot of different methods, but none are working. Is anyone able to help me please?
Thanks
You need to provide the whole url where your image resides
example:
<img src='http://www.mydomain.com/imagefolder/image.jpg' alt='my-image' width='' height=''>
This isn't really trivial, but with a couple of tries doable.
First of all, learn how to build a multipart email, that has the correct images attached to it. If you can't attach the images, they obviously won't be in the email. Make sure to set the type to multipart/related.
Secondly, find out how to set the cid references, in particular the Content-ID header of the attachment.
Third, glue it all together.
At each step, do the following:
look at the result
send the email to yourself, and compare it to what you received
compare it to a working example email
I find the best way to send images via email is to encode them with base64.
There are loads of links and tutorials on this but here is this code for Codeigniter should suffice:
/* Load email library and file helper */
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->helper('file');
$this->email->from('whoever#example.com', 'Who Ever'); // Who the email is from
$this->email->to('youremailhere#example.com'); // Who the email is to
$image = "path/to/image"; // image path
$fileExt = get_mime_by_extension($image); // <- what the file helper is used for (to get the mime type)
$this->email->message('<img src="data:'.$fileExt.';base64,'.base64_encode(file_get_contents($image)).'" alt="Test Image" />'); // Get the content of the file, and base64 encode it
if( ! $this->email->send()) {
// Error message here
} else {
// Message sent
}
Here is a way to get a string variable without having to worry about the coding.
If you have Mozilla Thunderbird, you can use it to fetch the html image code for you.
I wrote a little tutorial here, complete with a screenshot (it's for powershell, but that doesn't matter for this):
powershell email with html picture showing red x
And again:
How to embed images in email
I need to embed an image in e-mail. How do I do it?
I do not want to use third party tool, nor am I interested in language specific answer (but it is PHP, in case you are wondering).
I am merely interested in format of resulting e-mail body.
As you are aware, everything passed as email message has to be textualized.
You must create an email with a multipart/mime message.
If you're adding a physical image, the image must be base 64 encoded and assigned a Content-ID (cid). If it's an URL, then the <img /> tag is sufficient (the url of the image must be linked to a Source ID).
A Typical email example will look like this:
From: foo1atbar.net
To: foo2atbar.net
Subject: A simple example
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="boundary-example"; type="text/html"
--boundary-example
Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"
... text of the HTML document, which might contain a URI
referencing a resource in another body part, for example
through a statement such as:
<IMG SRC="cid:foo4atfoo1atbar.net" ALT="IETF logo">
--boundary-example
Content-Location: CID:somethingatelse ; this header is disregarded
Content-ID: <foo4atfoo1atbar.net>
Content-Type: IMAGE/GIF
Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
R0lGODlhGAGgAPEAAP/////ZRaCgoAAAACH+PUNv
cHlyaWdodCAoQykgMTk5LiBVbmF1dGhvcml6ZWQgZHV
wbGljYXRpb24gcHJvaGliaXRlZC4A etc...
--boundary-example--
As you can see, the Content-ID: <foo4atfoo1atbar.net> ID is matched to the <IMG> at SRC="cid:foo4atfoo1atbar.net". That way, the client browser will render your image as a content and not as an attachement.
the third way is to base64 encode the image and place it in a data: url
example:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,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" width="32" height="32">
Here is how to get the code for an embedded image without worrying about any files or base64 statements or mimes (it's still base64, but you don't have to do anything to get it). I originally posted this same answer in this thread, but it may be valuable to repeat it in this one, too.
To do this, you need Mozilla Thunderbird, you can fetch the html code for an image like this:
Copy a bitmap to clipboard.
Start a new email message.
Paste the image. (don't save it as a draft!!!)
Double-click on it to get to the image settings dialogue.
Look for the "image location" property.
Fetch the code and wrap it in an image tag, like this:
You should end up with a string of text something like this:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,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

You can wrap this up into a string variable and place this absolutely anywhere that you would present an html email message - even in your email signatures. The advantage is that there are no attachments, and there are no links. (this code will display a lizard)
A picture is worth a thousand words:
Incidentally, I did write a program to do all of this for you. It's called BaseImage, and it will create the image code as well as the html for you. Please don't consider this self-promotion; I'm just sharing a solution.
Correct way of embedding images into Outlook and avoiding security problems is the next:
Use interop for Outlook 2003;
Create new email and set it save folder;
Do not use base64 embedding, outlook 2007 does not support it; do not reference files on your disk, they won't be send; do not use word editor inspector because you will get security warnings on some machines;
Attachment must have png/jpg extension. If it will have for instance tmp extension - Outlook will warn user;
Pay attention how CID is generated without mapi;
Do not access properties via getters or you will get security warnings on some machines.
public static void PrepareEmail()
{
var attachFile = Path.Combine(
Application.StartupPath, "mySuperImage.png"); // pay attention that image must not contain spaces, because Outlook cannot inline such images
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlook = null;
NameSpace space = null;
MAPIFolder folder = null;
MailItem mail = null;
Attachment attachment = null;
try
{
outlook = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
space = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI");
space.Logon(null, null, true, true);
folder = space.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail);
mail = (MailItem) outlook.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
mail.SaveSentMessageFolder = folder;
mail.Subject = "Hi Everyone";
mail.Attachments.Add(attachFile, OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 0, Type.Missing);
// Last Type.Missing - is for not to show attachment in attachments list.
string attachmentId = Path.GetFileName(attachFile);
mail.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
mail.HTMLBody = string.Format("<br/><img src=\'cid:{0}\' />", attachmentId);
mail.Display(false);
}
finally
{
ReleaseComObject(outlook, space, folder, mail, attachment);
}
}
Actually, there are two ways to include images in email.
The first way ensures that the user will see the image, even if in some cases it’s only as an attachment to the message. This method is exactly what we call as “embedding images in email" in daily life.
Essentially, you’re attaching the image to the email. The plus side is that, in one way or another, the user is sure to get the image. While the downside is two fold. Firstly, spam filters look for large, embedded images and often give you a higher spam score for embedding images in email (Lots of spammers use images to avoid having the inappropriate content in their emails read by the spam filters.). Secondly, if you pay to send your email by weight or kilobyte, this increases the size of your message. If you’re not careful, it can even make your message too big for the parameters of the email provider.
The second way to include images (and the far more common way) is the same way that you put an image on a web page. Within the email, you provide a url that is the reference to the image’s location on your server, exactly the same way that you would on a web page. This has several benefits. Firstly, you won’t get caught for spamming or for your message “weighing” too much because of the image. Secondly, you can make changes to the images after the email has been sent if you find errors in them. On the flip side, your recipient will need to actively turn on image viewing in their email client to see your images.
Generally I handle this by setting up an HTML formatted SMTP message, with IMG tags pointing to a content server. Just make sure you have both text and HTML versions since some email clients cannot support HTML emails.
hi i want to send a image in html format using php mailer class but image show in mail after downloading. but i want to display the image without downloading. is there any option in mailer class or there is another method for this.
or i have to send the the image in another format.
Well, there can be only two possible answers:
you do not want to embed the actual image file with the eMail, then simply put an <img> element into the eMail linking to the image at the remote location, just like you would with any other HTML page. Then cross fingers and hope the client has HTML email enabled and allows display of remote images.
or
you dont want to reference the file from a remote server, but embed it with the eMail. In that case, refer to How To Embed Images in HTML EMail or Attaching an image to an email
If your using PHP Mailer...
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SetFrom("blah#blah.com");
$mail->AddAddress("blah#blah.com");
$mail->Subject = "Blah"
$mail->MsgHTML('<html><body><img src="logo.jpg">Hello</body></html>');
$mail->AddAttachment("logo.jpg");
$mail->Send();
Using AddAttachment PHP Mailer will check your HTML for a reference to that file and automatically embed it for you.
buddy, its really simple. Write html code as if you write in developing a web page. Give the complete url to the image in the src attribute.
Dont forget to user the function eregi_replace() on body html
$html_message = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body_html_string);
engoy !!!!! ;)
