whats the difference between this

<?php 
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; multipart/alternative;\r\n";
$headers .= "From: [email protected] \r\n";
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Re: your first email";
$body = "Congrats on your first email.";
$sentok = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
if($sentok){ 
  echo "Mail sent. ";
} else { 
     echo "Mail not sent. ";
  }?>

with this

<?php $headers = "From: [email protected] \r\n";
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Re: your first email";
$body = "Congrats on your first email.";
$sentok = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
if($sentok){ 
  echo "Mail sent. ";
} else { 
     echo "Mail not sent. ";
  }
?>

did you mean what do these two lines mean?

 

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; multipart/alternative;\r\n";

 

They are setting the Type of the email. in this case text/plain.

 

if you wanted to send an html email you could set that here.

um.. think about it.  If there were a way for you to force an email to bypass spam filtering, then spam filtering would be completely useless.  There is nothing you can do about a spam filter because it is under the control of the person owning the email account.

Getting around spam filters can be tricky. But again, think about it! Are you sending spam? Maybe what you're sending looks like spam?

 

Where are you sending it to that it comes in as spam?
