HTML email using PHP

andyg1001 · May 30, 2009

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I'm teaching myself PHP for my own web site.

I'm planning on sending an HTML email when a customer signs up to my site. Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem I have is that the following code works perfectly well when viewed in webmail but does not work in Outlook 2003.

<?php

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "HTML email";

$message = "

<html>

<head>

<title>HTML email</title>

</head>

<body>

<p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p>

<table>

<tr>

<th>Firstname</th>

<th>Lastname</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Gardner</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

echo ("email sent");

?>

The email that comes through in outlook 2003 is:

Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 From: [email protected]

X-Cloudmark-Analysis: v=1.0 c=1 a=jTn-Q8FSfCO1nmyFLuUA:9 a=6lKGLFTiwgHrHopVnM8A:7 a=fiir3xXRFbs7AhB5_oMwtoVxEmMA:4

<html> <head> <title>HTML email</title> </head> <body> <p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p> <table> <tr> <th>Firstname</th> <th>Lastname</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Andy</td> <td>Gardner</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

Thanks

Andy
