Email problem

Hi.

 

I have a php email script that sends newsletters to email addresses stored in my db.

 

However, In my email panel, there is an HTML editor so I can do some HTML formatting like bold/italic, etc

 

My problem is users receive emails with text mixed with HTML formatting...

 

things like <span> <br> <em> included in the text.

 

How do I make sure I send only the text without it losing its formatting?

 

Below is my email sending function

 

function sendNL()
{

$adminmail = "[email protected]";

$path = "localhost";

if(isset($_POST['submit']))


      $nletter = $_POST['txtTitle'];

      $subject = $_POST['txaDescription'];

      //the block above formats the letter so it will send correctly.

      $sql="SELECT * from mogas_newsletter order by email ASC"; //select e-mails in ABC order

      $result=mysql_query($sql) or die("Could not get list");

      while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))

      {

         $headers = "From: $adminmail \r\n"; 

         $headers.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 ";  //send HTML enabled mail

         $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 ";     

         mail("$row[email]","$subject","$nletter",$headers);

      }

      print "Newsletter Sent.";

echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" content=\"; URL=index.php\"> ";
}

You haven't put the \r\n at the end of the content-type and mime headers. Each email header needs \r\n at the end of it.

 

Try this:

 

$headers = "From: $adminmail\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";  //send HTML enabled mail
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

Did you try adding the \r\n ?

 

HTML tags for bold/italics and other formatting will only work if the content-type header is understood to be "text/html".

 

You'll run into problems with images because nearly all email clients will not show images in an email by default. There are ways around it such as attaching all your images to the email.
