is it possible (decorate and email)

[deansaddigh]

i have this

//Send an email
		$headers = "Reply-To: [email protected]\r\n";
		$headers = "Return-Path: [email protected]\r\n";
		$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
		if (mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers)) 
		{
		  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");

 

Is it possible to decorate the email , so it looks nice when it goes to the customer?

You can send HTML email, but it's a pretty hokey system as mail clients are even more varied than browsers. So it's pretty difficult to get it to look proper in all mail clients, and some of them can't even read HTML mails in the first place.

 

But here is some reading to get your started:

$headers = "Reply-To: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers = "Return-Path: [email protected]\r\n";

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

 

You realize you overwrote the value of $headers 3 times and $headers now contains "From .." The proper format would be:

 

$headers  = "Reply-To: [email protected]\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-Path: [email protected]\r\n";

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

I just realized that I forgot to link the articles that I said was good to start reading:
