Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : Sending emails from PHP as HTML.

[VolkNet]

I have a quick Question about this.

To send an email from php using the mail() funtion, is there any special headers or anything that i need to do to make sure that the email is sent as html.

I kept trying to send myself a test email with html and it would actually print the html out as the message and the place is capable of reading html emails.

Any help? thx.

Hi Volknet:

Try adding this to your message function:

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

Post your script if your still having problems. I'll be glad to help.

Thanks!
