Create MIME Containing Plain-Text

Calls SetBodyFromPlainText to load plain-text into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/plain", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the text.

use chilkat();

$mime = new chilkat::CkMime();

$success = $mime->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial.");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Add a few header fields:
$mime->AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
$mime->AddHeaderField("MyId","123");

$textBody = "This is the plain-text body";

$mime->SetBodyFromPlainText($textBody);

print $mime->getMime() . "\r\n";

#  The MIME should look like this:
#  
Description: this is a test
MyId: 123
Content-Type: text/plain; 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is the plain-text body

#  Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
#  For example, to use "base64", do this:
$mime->put_Encoding("base64");

#  Show the MIME again, this time using the base64
#  transfer encoding:
print $mime->getMime() . "\r\n";

#  It should look like this:
#  
Description: this is a test
MyId: 123
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
