yiaggi Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi guys, I am really stuck with a bit of coding and hope you can help! I am fairly new to PHP although I have got a few trusted scripts that have been tweaked throughout the last few years that I call upon whenever I need to use it. I am trying to expand my knowledge so have a fair idea I will be on this forum a bit! I am a web designer but would like to move onto programming soon. Basically - I have been using a FormToEmail script to do web forms for a long while now as it has never let me down and always gives me the result I need. The form is very simple and i'm sure will offer no suprises to you PHP geniuses! It simply activates when submit is clicked and pushes an email to the user saying 'thank you' and one to the company giving the details from the form. The email sent to the user is where I have my issue. Instead of just plain text saying thank you - this group want the email to have their company logo at the top. I am used to HTML emails and what is required to make them work. My first guess was to just add a line in my code within the <html> tags that display the message. When I do this thou and go to my form to hit submit - I get a very strange result. Instead of displaying the "Thank You" text on screen like it normally does - I get a blank screen and the emails do not send to either party. I'm obviously going about this the wrong way but am a bit stumped as to what I am doing wrong. I have a feeling that I need to add something to the PHP but I have no idea what! Here is the part of the code that relates to sending the email to the site user: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $headers = "To: ".$email. "\r\n"; // this is the email given by the visitor $headers .= "From: ".$my_email. "\r\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; $subject = "Thank you for your interest"; $msg = " <html> <head> <title>Thank You! </title> </head> <body> <p> Thank you for your email etc .......... </p> </body> </html> "; mail($email,$subject,$msg,$headers); } ?> </head> <body> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can anyone help me? Please feel free to email direct! I can post more of the code if it is needed. Would be most grateful to anyone who has a spare 5 mins to tell me what i'm doing wrong!

bag Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 You say that is part of the script. I would guess you have a <head><body>etc. above the headers. Writing output before headers is a NoNo and the headers won't work. You should use $output = <MTML><HEAD>........ headers headers mail echo $output Although if it worked previously it must have had something similar in. Did you completely rewrite it?
