salman_ahad@yahoo.com Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I am trying to send email using mail() function. I want to be able to include the css style in message too. My present code is <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <style> .style1 { color: #777777; } .style2 { color: #666666; } </style> </head> </html> <?php $to = "xyz@mysite.com"; $subject = "promotion"; $message = '' . '<table width="520" border="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">' . ' <tr>' . ' <td width="514" height="90"><p> </p>' . ' <p><span class="style1">Reach out to Community!! </span></p>' . ' <span class="style2">1. Click the mail below.</span><br /><br /> </td>' . ' </tr>' . '</table>'; mail($to, $subject, $message); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Your need to send your email as HTML, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosizzle Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 You can put the style within your $message. Something that I've come to do is include a php script. MAIL SCRIPT <?php $to = "xyz@mysite.com"; $subject = "promotion"; include('emailToSend.html'); mail($to, $subject, $message); ?> $body in mail <?php $body = " <html> <head> <style type='text/css'> .style1 { color: #777777; } .style2 { color: #666666; } </style> </head> <body> . '<table width="520" border="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">' . ' <tr>' . ' <td width="514" height="90"><p> </p>' . ' <p><span class="style1">Reach out to Community!! </span></p>' . ' <span class="style2">1. Click the mail below.</span><br /><br /> </td>' . ' </tr>' . '</table>'; </body> </html>"; ?> edit: I copied your stuff into the second script... so it wont work because of the quotes but you get the idea...

trq Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Your missing everything before the <body> tags for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salman_ahad@yahoo.com Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 I did not get you... What should I do to above code to accept the styles too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salman_ahad@yahoo.com Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok I fixed it... I had to insert the style color and size in the <td> tags itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Was probably a good move, including the styling info IN the email to be applied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
