Hey

I am making a php application and i want the user to be able to put in the message box something but it can be in HTML so i did this and now when it sends it dosnt make it php even when i have this:


$headers .= "From: $company\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; image/jpeg;";

Can anyone help?

Dan

Sorry, but i don't understand it fully.
Rephrase your question.

I'm basicly asking how you send HTML through php becasue mine dosent work


<?php
if($_GET['send'] == "yes"){
include("config.php");
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$sub = $_POST['sub'];
$text = $_POST['text'];
/////////////////////
$headers .= "From: $company\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; image/jpeg;";
////////////////////
$mail_sent = @mail( $mail, $sub, $text, $headers );
echo $mail_sent ?
"<br /><div class='success'>Email sent to $mail</div>" :
"<br /><div class='failed'>Sending Failed, Please go back and try again.<br><a href='javascript:history.back();'>[Back?]</a></div>";
}
?>

call the url with the Get method

file.php?send=1

No i know all that but its working fine and it send the email it just dosent show the HTML stuff in the email like if you put <font style""....... it wouldnt show the style in the email it would just be defalt

try changing this line to:
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html;";

Still not working :S

Well, does your client software display messages in HTML?
View the message source.

you mean set to HTML in the textfield?

no, Steve meant that some Email Application, users are given option to disable/enable messages in plain text/HTML.

If you send as HTML format, but the user set to plain text, he/she will see html codes instead of a nice html-formatted page.

OK try this:

$to = $email;
$subject = $subject;
$message =
"enter the HTML here, remember to slash the quotes
";

$headers = "From: noreply@YOURDOMAIN.COM\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n";

// Send
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I'd really suggest using a better e-mail library when you get into HTML mail and MIME content parts.

My personal favorite so far is SwiftMailer (LGPL, excellent API).

Here's a link to their 'Sending HTML' examples:

I have this fixed now... however it wont send to emails that are not on the server DNS... so say it was a you@hotmail.co.uk it will not send it to you but will send to me@mydomain.com

Why is this :S
