Bold text in php

[nico_icecold]

Hi all,

 

I have setup a simple email function for a form I have and just wondering if tehre is anyway to make the text that comes out to my email bold. See below:

 

$form_information ="Hello, \n\n\r '<strong>'You have received the following parent nomination:'</strong>'\n\n\r Name: $fullname \n Nominees name: $name_of_nominee \n Age:$age \n Number of biological dependants: $bio_dependants \n Number of non-biological dependants: $nonbio_dependants\nAge of biological dependants: $bio_dep_age \n Age of non-biological dependants: $nonbio_dep_age \n Household income: $income \n Number of adults in house: $adults_living \n\n\r Reason for nomination: \n $reason_nomination \n\n\r Is the nominee in or looking to step back into the education system?  $education \n\n\r Details of current or planning education: \n $education_details \n\n\r Is the nominee in or looking to step back into employment?  $employment \n\n\r Employment details:\n $employment_details \n\n\r Contact details:\n\n Email address: $email_address \nContact telephone number: \n $telephone \n Nominee contact number: $telephone_nominee \n Nominee email: $email_nominee";

 

That sends my info to me and allows me have new lines etc but i cant seem to use strong or bold html tags in.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

You have to send it as an HTML email.

 

Read up on how to do that at mail() Example #4

 

They should have examples etc.
