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.

<?php

$mime = new COM("Chilkat.Mime");

$success = $mime->UnlockComponent('Anything for 30-day trial.');
if ($success == false) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "\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() . "\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->Encoding = 'base64';

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

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