Yes you can, you just need to make sure you have all the necessary information in your message and headers. 2. Most definitely. It's done just the same way that you would do in any other php script. 3. $headers are extra information that can be passed along with the email. They include Cc:, Bcc:, From: and Content-type, to name a few. If you want to just use the php mail() function for sending HTML emails, it's easily doable. Check out the information on the php.net website on how to accomplish this: http://www.php.net/function.mail Regards, Brian Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81251-send-and-email-with-html-from-php-script/#findComment-412390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
