Headers in email body

[bfinke]

I've been working on this for hours and its driving me insane.

 

 

<?php
$email = '[email protected]';
$subject = "Test";
$message = "<h2>Hello</h2><p>Second line here</p>";

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$checker = mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

After sending the email, the headers show up in the body of the email and its all just text, no html like I'm going for.

 

This is the email:

 

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

From: [email protected]
Reply-To: [email protected]
X-Mailer: PHP/4.3.9

<h2>EHLLO</h2><p>this should be on a new line and this is </p>

 

Any help is appreciated very much!

I'm unsure whats wrong with yours, i use the following.

 

$HTML = your message content/body.

 

 

	$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$boundary = uniqid("HTMLEMAIL");
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;".
				"boundary = $boundary\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message.\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= "--$boundary\r\n".
				"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
				"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode(strip_tags($HTML))); 
$headers .= "--$boundary\r\n".
				"Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n".
				"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n"; 
$headers .= chunk_split(base64_encode($HTML));

yeah, I have never seen the headers come through... but are you sure you have your mail client set to receive html email?

[bfinke]

I find it curious too, I changed it too

 

	$subject = "Your spring textbooks";
	$message = "<h2>This is right</h2><p>Yes this is right! $mascot_temp $firstname_temp $userid_temp</p>";

	$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html";

 

And it's working. But still doesn't seem right to me.

Something is wrong with your site, I tested out your code and it worked perfectly for me.

I placed the code on my server, and sent the mail to my email address. It comes back as HTML.

 

I attached a screenshot of it in my email client.... (gmail).

Thanks all for your help.

 

Any thoughts on what could be wrong with my server? I called Lunarpages and told them something was up and, of course, they were helpless.

What email client are you using to receive the emai? It seems like it is more your email client rather than the server.
