add image to html mail

I have a PHP Script to send an email using PHP mail.

$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML("

<body>
<img src=`hulaminlogo.jpg`>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<br>
<h3>Load Number $loadnumber has been revoked by LOC.</h3><br>
</body>

");
$mail->Send();

The MsgHTML, works correctly however the <img src="hulaminlogo.jpg"> does not display. I have tried with '' as well. " does not work as it ends the value MsgHTML.

How can I correctly format this syntax so the image displays correctly?

Add the image as an attachment to your message

UPD:

    <body style="margin: 10px;">
<div style="width: 640px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
<div align="center"><img src="images/phpmailer.gif" style="height: 90px; width: 340px"></div><br>
<br>
&nbsp;This is a test of PHPMailer.<br>
<br>
This particular example uses <strong>HTML</strong>, with a &lt;div&gt; tag and inline<br>
styles.<br>
<br>
Also note the use of the PHPMailer logo above with no specific code to handle
including it.<br />
Included are two attachments:<br />
phpmailer.gif is an attachment and used inline as a graphic (above)<br />    
<br />
PHPMailer:<br />
Author: Andy Prevost ([email protected])<br />
Author: Marcus Bointon ([email protected])<br />
</div>
</body>

and then you send that

 $mail->MsgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'));
 $mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif');

that's it

Nikola is correct that adding the full url to the img will alow the client to find and render the content - but by default most browsers won't go fetch content unles explicitly told to do so. Simply adding the iage as an attachment won't help - some MUAs might render it, most won't. There's 2 options for embedding the image within the email.

  1. use mhtml to create a composite MIME attachment (works with MS clients but not much else, requires a lot of re-writing of code)

  2. use data uris (requires a fairly up to date client but only needs minimal changes to your code)

For email, you need to add URL path to the image <img> src

<img src='http://www.YOUR_SITE.com/hulaminlogo.jpg'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Noticed that, ms outlook have some strange bahaviours. So I suggest you to use only absolute url of your images.

This soolution gives you the best results.

You have to put the full link to the image, so http://yoursite.com/path/hulaminlogo.jpg
