Hi,

 

I'm trying to format an email sent through a php form with using html to format the message. According to what I've read, I use the following $header code. I tryed to use the following code for the message as a test which is from the php.net website. It doesn't work, however. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong or why it might not be working? It's right off the php.net website.

 

<?php

  //create short variable names

  $toaddress = '[email protected]';

  $subject = 'test';

  $mailcontent = '<html>

<head>

  <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>

</head>

<body>

  <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>

  <table>

    <tr>

      <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>

    </tr>

  </table>

</body>

</html>

';

 

  $fromaddress = 'From: [email protected];

  $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

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

  mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress, $headers);

?>

ok if you reciev the email at all then smtp is setup correctly.

 

If you are saying when you get the email you can see all the html tags, then the email is being sent as a plain text.

- Check your headers.

 

 

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

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

 

from wat i can see there are no problems in the script, try emailing different addresses, try the email without the <html> and <head> and <body> tags, eg:

  <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
    </tr>
  </table>

 

 

hope this helps,

I figured it out, I had 5 parameters instead of 4...it works now.

 

<?php

$name=$_POST['name'];

$work=$_POST['work'];

$toaddress = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'test';

$message ='

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>

<body>

My name is '.$name.' and I do '.$work.' in my feild.

</body>

';

 

$headers='MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";

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

$headers.="From: <xxx@xxxcom>". "\r\n";

mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>
