When sending an MMS message of just a jpeg image
through the web interface the receiving phone gets it as a picture which they can then save to their phone to use as a background image.

However when sending it using php
$mmsMessage = MmsAddFile ($mmsMessage, "007.jpg", "image/jpeg");
it is received as a slideshow. Is there a setting we can put in the php that would make it a picture.

BTW, it was sent to the same phone.

Hi Eric,

It should work the same way.

When you using the PHP script and the MmsAddFile function, it builds a submission that goes through the same interface of NowSMS as the web form.

I can't imagine what would be different.

In both cases, NowSMS does add a slide show presentation wrapper (SMIL file) around the image. This is done because there are some phones that get confused by MMS messages that don't have a SMIL presentation layer.

You can disable the addition of this SMIL layer by editing MMSC.INI and adding EMailAutoSmil=No under the [MMSC] header. (Restart the service for this setting to take effect.)

SMIL is the only thing I can think of that might make a difference ... but NowSMS would be adding it in both cases, so it confuses me.

If you want to enable the SMSDEBUG.LOG, and then do one submission via PHP and one via the web form, then post the SMSDEBUG.LOG ... I can look at it and tell you what fields/parameters are different between the two.
