Re: [PHP] inserting html within a mail body

[Richard Lynch]

 I am using the mail() function in php andI am looking for a quick and easy
 way to make the mail_body of an auto response email with HTML tags in it
 so
 I can add some style to it.

Don't.  I, and others, will immediately delete your HTML enhanced
(cough, cough) email without opening it.

If you MUST do this, search here for one of the umpteen existing solutions:

[PHP] inserting html within a mail body

[Ross Hulford]

Hi,


I am using the mail() function in php andI am looking for a quick and easy 
way to make the mail_body of an auto response email with HTML tags in it so 
I can add some style to it.

Are the use of CSS tags possible too?


Any suggestions will be much appreciated

Hi! 

The PHPs manual page on the mail function shows an example of sending HTML mail.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

I've also attached it below:
snip
?php
/* recipients */
$to  = [EMAIL PROTECTED] . ,  ; // note the comma
$to .= [EMAIL PROTECTED];

/* subject */
$subject = Birthday Reminders for August;

/* message */
$message = '
html
head
 titleBirthday Reminders for August/title
/head
body
pHere are the birthdays upcoming in August!/p
table
 tr
  thPerson/ththDay/ththMonth/ththYear/th
 /tr
 tr
  tdJoe/tdtd3rd/tdtdAugust/tdtd1970/td
 /tr
 tr
  tdSally/tdtd17th/tdtdAugust/tdtd1973/td
 /tr
/table
/body
/html
';

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

/* additional headers */
$headers .= To: Mary [EMAIL PROTECTED], Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;
$headers .= From: Birthday Reminder [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;
$headers .= Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$headers .= Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED];

/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
? 
/snip
