php_begins Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi I am having trouble sending emails with html content. My $content variable is defined as follows: $content='<html><body> lots of html data with tables and rows here </body></html>'; But when I execute the code, it says 'Mail sent', but I do not get any email. if i just define $body="hello", it sends me the email. Here is my code to send the email <? $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "test"; $body=$content; $from = "[email protected]"; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: Admin <[email protected]>' . "\r\n"; // Send email if(mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) { // Inform the user echo "Your email has been sent"; } else { echo "MAIL not sent"; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248130-email-with-html-elements-not-sent/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacbey Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well, first off, the email address it is sending it too is "[email protected]". That's your problem. Change it to your email address.

Howlin1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Have you tried sending the email (content included) to a non gmail address? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248130-email-with-html-elements-not-sent/#findComment-1274178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesta707 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sometimes mail sent via the built in smtp protocol in PHP has some problems. Make sure of a few things A.)Your SMTP server is actually up and running B.)You check your spam folder and such C.)Your email address/info is correct D.)Your header information is formed correctly. D is especially important as some email providers dont allow emails with malformed headers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/248130-email-with-html-elements-not-sent/#findComment-1274180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
