// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Start with an empty MIME object...
$mime = new Mime();

// Initialize it as multipart/alternative.
$mime->NewMultipartAlternative();

// Create a text/plain part.
$ptMime = new Mime();
$ptMime->SetBodyFromPlainText('This is the plain text body.');
echo $ptMime->GetMime(), "\n";
echo "****\n";

// The text/plain part looks like this:

//     Content-Type: text/plain
//     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
//
//     This is the plain text body.

// Create a text/HTML part.
$htmlMime = new Mime();
$htmlMime->SetBodyFromHtml('<html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>');
echo $htmlMime->GetMime(), "\n";
echo "****\n";

// The text/html part looks like this:

//     Content-Type: text/html
//     Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
//
//     <html><body><p>This is the <b>HTML body</b></p></body></html>

// Add both parts as children of the multipart/alternative
$mime->AppendPart($ptMime);
$mime->AppendPart($htmlMime);
echo $mime->GetMime(), "\n";

// This the result.  The boundary string was automatically generaetd.

//     Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------080803090906030708030908"

//     --------------080803090906030708030908
//     Content-Type: text/plain

//     This is the plain text body.
