I'm new to this forum and semi new to php. I am in need of help badly here as I have a deadline going.

 

I have a registry page (html) with fields for name, number, address etc.

 

The way I used to do php reg forms was to have a first page with fill in boxes (fields) after filling in clicking submit would link to a second page thanking people for registering...

 

An email would go to a specified email address displaying the information entered into the fields. Really basic script really simple but affective.

 

I now need to make an html email so that the field information is sent to a specific email address with html code around it to present the information to look more like a fill out card with a logo on the top right, then the basic simple text style.

 

I have been looking for awhile and am coming up dry for answers. Most of the tutorials I find don't detail how to make the field information display in the html email.

 

Can anyone help me? Or point me in the right direction?

He wants to send them a HTML formatted email

Bingo!

 

The way I know of and am used to is someone goes to a page fills out the form hits send and they see a "Thank you" page. Now someone on another end recieves an email with all their information to do what they please with it, i.e. enter into a data base, add to a mailing list etc.

 

But I need to change the way it arrives to the recipient. I need to change it from plain text to html.

This part threw me off..

Go here:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

 

scroll down to Example #4

 

Note: The headers are the most important

I tried this one earlier and it did help me a bit, I now get html code to my email but lines like this...

<td class=label align=right valign=middle nowrap bgcolor=#eeeeee>Full Name:</td>

<td class=content align=left valign=middle nowrap bgcolor=#eeeeee>$firstname \n</td>

<td class=content align=left valign=middle nowrap bgcolor=#eeeeee>$midname \n</td>

<td class=content align=left valign=middle nowrap bgcolor=#eeeeee>$lastname \n</td>

 

I know this is wrong because instead of getting the persons information it comes just as you see it "$firstname" etc.

 

I need to know how to make that call up the information entered into the fields.

Ok,

 

The email now comes to my email address looking the way I want except for 2 issues remaining.

 

1. The logo I need on the right hand side is not showing even though I have allowed that email address to accept images and it is an absolute link.

2. The fields are still coming to my email like this $lastname \n. I have tried adding "" to them i.e. "$lastname \n" also like this "$lastname" and both ways don't bring the data in right.

 

btw thanks to all the replies from everyone so far.

Double quote the string that the variable is in.

 

In regards to the logo, can't help you there, but it may be better as an attachment.

Double quotes didn't change anything.

 

I don't know if this helps or not but the php code I gave is in a php page that has html code to display images and text for the Thank You page.

 

Full page code.
