It is perfectly reasonable to send a message containing something like this: "That HTML tag you're looking for is " and expect it to NOT be rendered as HTML on the other end but displayed exactly as you typed it. Likewise it's legitimate to send a "text/html" message that contains no HTML elements at all. When sending HTML mail a program should only set the content-type to "text/html" if the sender explicitly requests it, not when it detects HTML elements in the body.

Well, then preg_match ('/<[a-z]/i', $text) should work.

Re: [PHP] detecting HTML tags
Yes, I thought similarly. But so far, neither works.
$string="blah x<4 blah";
if (strlen($string) != strlen(strip_tags($string))){
echo "html";
} else {
echo "text";
}
The above still echos "html".
kind regards,

if (strstr ($text, '<')) {
UseHTML ($text);

You could try something like
if (strlen($string) != strlen(strip_tags($string))
{
// maybe some html in string
}

Subject: [PHP] detecting HTML tags
Is there a way to detect the presence of HTML tags?
I don't want them stripped out, I just want to know if a string contains
them.
I'm rolling my own mailing program and want it to detect the HTML if
present and send it appropriately.
kind regards,
