Create MIME Containing XML

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

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");

$xmlData = "<something>123</something>";

#  Set the mime body via SetBodyFromXml.  This also
#  has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
#  and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
$mime->SetBodyFromXml($xmlData);

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

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

<something>123</something>

#  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/xml; 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
