(PHP using ActiveX) 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.

<?php

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

$success = $mime->UnlockComponent('Anything for 30-day trial.');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $mime->lastErrorText() . "\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() . "\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->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/xml; 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
