PC Nerd Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi, Ive got an email feature on my website - and I need it to be HMTL. I know that my email host supports HTML emails, however whenever I send an email It appears as text. Its got this at the beginning of my HTML email: <html><head><meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html' /> Is this incorrect, or is there another method to making my email in HTML format? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teng84 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 do you have this in your code $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; to tell the script that you're sending email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 You need to use the header function. <?php $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); ?> Beat to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rameshfaj Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Be aware different mail servers use different headers for sending the email,the single header may not work for all the mail servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
