Using HTML and CSS in an email sent with php

[Blekk]

Hi,

I don't know if this fits under this category but I was testing how to send with php mail() and in the $message I put, something like:

[code]<p style="color:#000000; font-size:10px;">Hello</p>[/code]

But when I recieve the email in Live Messenger, all I get is not a black word at size 10 but actually the html code aswell.

[quote]<p style="color:#000000; font-size:10px;">Hello</p>[/quote]

Just like it was in the php document.

Anyone know why?

Thanks,

Any reply is appreciated.

you need to send the header with it telling that it is an html email.

from php.net

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
