How can I send an HTML-formatted email with pictures using PHP?
I want to have a page with some settings and HTML output which is sent via email to an address. What should I do?
The main problem is to attach files. How can I do that?

It is pretty simple. Leave the images on the server and send the PHP + CSS to them…
$to = 'bob@example.com'; $subject = 'Website Change Request'; $headers = "From: " . strip_tags($_POST['req-email']) . "rn"; $headers .= "Reply-To: " . strip_tags($_POST['req-email']) . "rn"; $headers .= "CC: susan@example.comrn"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8rn"; $message = '<p><strong>This is strong text</strong> while this is not.</p>'; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
It is this line that tells the mailer and the recipient that the email contains (hopefully) well-formed HTML that it will need to interpret:
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8rn";

You will need security though…
