php html email

Solution 1

from the docs: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

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

obviously $headers has to be passed to the mail

Solution 2

here you go:

// multiple recipients
$to  = '[email protected]';

//subject
$subject = 'Email Template for Lazy People';

//message body
$message = "
<html>
<head>
  <title>My Title</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <b>My email body</b>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
";

//add headers
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To: yourself<[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: myself<[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

//send mail
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Sending HTML email from PHP

Using PHP to send an email.

I want it to be HTML based but when I get the email in my inbox it just shows the raw code.

How can I make it interprited as HTML rather then just text?!

For everyone asking to see the code
```
<?php
//The email of the sender
$email = $_POST['email'];
//The message of the sender
$message = "<html></html>";
//The subject of the email
$subject = "Fanshawe Student Success";
$extra = $email."\r\nReply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
mail($email,$subject,$message,$extra);
?>
```
