php library for embedding images in email

Question

Which php library makes it easy to embed images into an email.

This thread seems like a very similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/536838/php-attaching-an-image-to-an-email Although it wasn't asking for a library. — Tim Lytle, Nov 17 '09 at 15:54

Zend_Mail seems pretty easy. From the example code:

$mail = new Zend_Mail();
// build message...
$mail->createAttachment($myImage,
                        'image/gif',
                        Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE,
                        Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT);

If you want to reference the image in the HTML part of the e-mail, this SO thread may be useful.

Take a look at the PEAR packages related to this (Mail/Mime).

Here is the documentation: http://pear.activeventure.com/package/package.mail.mail-mime.addhtmlimage.html

We use http://swiftmailer.org/ and it's very good and easy to use if you send less emails eta less than 100 K per hour for bulk of emails, in that case it could be memory consuming. Generally it is good tool.
