php image display without download in mail
I have a PHP web application which create wishes card and send them with the PHP mail() function.
The wishes card is build with HTML and part of the card are illustrations, those illustrations use jpg images inside an IMG tag. The images are hosted on a server so images paths use a complete link (like http:/domain.com/img.jpg).
When the card is received, for exemple with thunderbird, it says images are blocked and the user has to click on a button to show the images.
I understand it's a security mesure.
That's still annoying for a whishes card which is meant to be discover with its illustrations.
So, i'm looking for any though, any light, in a way to prevent email clients from blocking images.
Thanks.
Image blocking is done on the receiver's end, by the mail client. There's nothing you can do about it.
It is because of this that you often see the
Can't see this email? View it here
(Or something similar) at the top of many emails. This is your best alternative.
Embed the image in the email, I strongly recommend something like phpMailer to do this.
From their documentation:
Inline Attachments
There is an additional way to add an attachment. If you want to make a
HTML e-mail with images incorporated into the desk, it's necessary to
attach the image and then link the tag to it.
For example, if you add an image as inline attachment with the CID
my-photo, you would access it within the HTML e-mail with <img
src="cid:my-photo" alt="my-photo" />.
In detail, here is the function to add an inline attachment:
$mail->AddEmbeddedImage(filename, cid, name); By using this function
with this example's value above, results in this code:
$mail->AddEmbeddedImage('my-photo.jpg', 'my-photo', 'my-photo.jpg ');

I have some trouble to correctly embed images in html/php email.
My .php file just sends out a few text emails. But I want a picture in there.
<img src="http://website/image.jpg"> works so far but outlook blocks the image and I have to click download images every time.
So I found out that this is the behaviour of linked images. What I need is an embeded image.
<img src="image.jpg"> seems easy but does not work. The image is in the root directory of the index.php but the Mail does not contain the image. Just an error appears: "image cant be displayed".
I swear I googled for 2 hours now. How do the companies do that with their signature.
I appreciate your help.
I've done the company signature couple days ago and found a lot of problems.
For instance, you can set background-image and gmail and most of the email managers will display it, but outlook will not.
For images isn't the same.
Outlook will display your image, usually when it's https://...
In my case I was using firebase hosting to locate the images and 0 problems with that.
<img data-imagetype="External" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/..." class="x_gmail-CToWUd">
I use this signature in gmail, and outlook is displaying that <img> tag without any problems, and no need to make any attachment.
The data-imagetype is added from outlook when receiving the email and the class x_gmail... too.
Hope this will help you, if not I'll try to find a better solution for you.
Most email clients block images as a default. It’s up to the user or administrator to overcome this behavior. You can’t override it in email.
sorry for the question, but I have an mailing system from a Laravel app that sends a newsletter in HTML format with images on it. I tested by placing the html in blade and embedding the images like this:
<?php $message->embed(storage_path().'/images/unnamed.jpg'); ?>
Because if I just referenced the location of the image when the html is sent to mail all I'm getting are broken images. However, when I embed the images the mail is incorrect because the images are in different places instead of where they should be. What is the correct way of doing this? Instead of embedding the image should I store it on a cloud storage and just reference it from the html?
Please help, appreciate any advice, solution, or pointers. Thank you very much.
Here is the sample email:
You're getting broken images because it's an external (internet) link to the image. There is no proper way of embedding an image. Every external request is a potential danger and it's block by default by mailing/anti-virus program. The only way to show a picture is to ebed an image directly into HTML. here's an example:
http://www.techerator.com/2011/12/how-to-embed-images-directly-into-your-html/
I have a sign-up form. When someone signs up, they immediately receive an email (in HTML format) with the following information:
1) Their sign-up information (Name, P#, Email, etc.)
What I need is the following:
1) After sign-up, in the email the user receives, there needs to be a png-image that is generated by an external script. At the moment, I am using PEAR to generate/send the email (AOK) and Mail_Mime::addHTMLImage() to add the image, but alas, with no luck. All I get when I send the email is a broken image with my alt text appearing. It's important to keep in mind that I am generating the image (to be used in the HTML email) from an external script.
The code I'm using to try and grab the image (from the external script) is as follows:
$mime->addHTMLImage(get_template_directory_uri()."/qr_code_generator.php?code=", "image/png");
Also, not sure if it helps, but I'm using http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/ for the QR code generation
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
I answered most of this in your previous question here.
The likely issue again is that you can't embedded base64 encoded images directly into the body of the email, you have to treat them like attachments. The way you do that is with a content section and an appropriate content id.
Check out the documentation for the addHTMLImage method.
https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail-mime.addhtmlimage.php
It's not the best documentation but check it out and my other answer. That should give you enough to solve the issue.

If you are ready to jquery, then I have something for you.
You may use Uploadify (requires flash support) or AxUploader (doesn't require flash). These uploaders has got progress bars as on Gmail. Both of them have customizable options.
I am trying to send email as html with embedded images (not attachment) and as background.
I was trying to use Xpert Mailer but their documantion has small amount of information so I didnt succeed.
I was also trying to use Swiftmailer, with Swiftmailer I succeed to send email with embedded images but not as background.
Anyone has any clue how to send embbed images as background / has good PHP Email Sender?
Thanks!
Don't know about the apps you're using but this can be done by embedding the images in base64 format, looks like this:
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhUAABLABLAMOREBASE64HERE">
Quick google search shows the following converter site: click
I found the answer. the problem was not my html or how I embedded the image. tha problem was that gmail doesnt support css property background / background-image and therefore it didnt work for me.
I had to use
