i tried using include but it would actually print include in the email.. how should i do this? thanks
 
Either you have to send an HTML e-mail (in which case the image is loaded from your site just like on a web page), or you have to send the image as an attachment. Google should give you some good tutorial links, but here's a good one to get you started.

Click to expand...

in your $message_text
do insert
<html>
<body>
// get the text in here
<img src=""> //put the image link
</body>
</html>
 
than you sand like that you get message and simple string inside...
if you send like HTML all work propertly....

Actually, this isn't all you need to do. Some e-mail clients will display this as HTML-formatted, but many will just display the HTML. In order to make all e-mail clients display correctly (and to make clients that don't support HTML ignore it), you have to include headers that tell them that it's multipart, and which part is HTML and which is not (it's polite to include both an HTML-formatted version and a plaintext version). The tutorial which I linked to above explains most of this, but it might serve you better to just download a handy PHP class like this (registration is required, but if you don't already have a registration to PHPClasses.org anyway, you're seriously missing out) to do this for you.
