(PHP ActiveX) 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.

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Mime')
$mime = new COM("Chilkat.Mime");

// Add a few header fields:
$success = $mime->AddHeaderField('Description','this is a test');
$success = $mime->AddHeaderField('MyId','123');

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

$success = $mime->SetBodyFromPlainText($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
