Are there best practices for encoding and formatting email content, including attachments, in PHP scripts?

When encoding and formatting email content, including attachments, in PHP scripts, it is best practice to use the `PHPMailer` library. This library simplifies the process of sending emails with attachments and ensures proper encoding and formatting of the email content. 

// Include the PHPMailer library
require 'path/to/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

// Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;

// Set up the email content
$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');
$mail->Subject = 'Email Subject';
$mail->Body = 'Email Body';
$mail->isHTML(true);

// Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('path/to/file1.pdf');
$mail->addAttachment('path/to/file2.jpg');

// Send the email
if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo 'Message has been sent';
}
