Re: [PHP] html email showing br instead of line breaks
\r\n should be between double quotes: \r\n I think you'll still see the literal brs in your final email, though because htmlspecialchars() is converting the angle-brackets in the tag to their respective HTML entities (lt; for and gt; for ). A bit of a thorny problem because you probably do want to escape HTML-characters in the message for security purposes. I suppose you could call str_replace() after htmlspecialchars(), instead of before it as you currently do. OTOH, why not just send your email as plain text, instead of HTML?

I would have to agree with you Chris, there a many legitimate reasons for having HTML mail. I was trying to be a nice guy and send both the plain text version and the html version out but like I said, I couldn't get it to stop displaying both. I dumped the base_64 encoding already and also gave up on trying to do a multipart/mixed with both plain text and html and am just composing them as plain text or html as needed. PHPMailer is great for a resource but this is a customized project and PHPMailer won't fit in it. Plus I really would like to have this knowledge rattlin' around in my head anyways. It all works with Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail. It displays properly and isn't shoved into the Junk/Spam folders. Everything displays right in Thunderbird and Outlook Express and the only time it's flagged as spam is if it goes through my main account which, in reality, has a insanely low score base (.5) and it's now scoring a .6 so I think I've got a solution.

No. If your HTML message is guaranteed to be in the ISO-8859-1 range (e.g. only Latin-based languages), then you could likely get away with just these two headers.

However, when I check with Outlook Express 6 - I get the actual HTML code rather than the nicely formatted email that I had created. Should I be using another line in my mail() command? I've recieved HTML email before with Outlook Express on my machine without changing any settings at all. Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and the HTML email worked fine there too. That looks like one of the bugs of the mail() function that never got fixed. In that case you may want to try this class that has built-in workarounds for some of the mail() function bugs. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] HTML email with Outlook
Thanks to all those who responded, as always, spelling is key. Where I had -Type: text/html ... it should have read Content-Type : text/html ... So it works for now, and hopefully will continue to. I know that there are a number of email programs out there that do not support HTML mail, as well I know there are a great many of individuals who do not enjoy it either. We're just running a trial base here to see what works, if it turns out that the majority of our customers do not enjoy it, then we'll switch to plain text (actually built the plain-text one first, this is just an add-on) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] HTML Email Has Random '!'

Re: [PHP] HTML Email
The very first thing you need to do when thinking about a way to send HTML e-mail is to take plenty of aspirin and lie down until the urge passes and you feel sane again. HTML e-mail bad.

Re: [PHP] HTML Email
It looks fine to me. The only difference is that I use
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable, which shouldn't make
much of a difference here. A very small misplacement of a newline
character or even a space can cause things not to work correctly.
Your best course of debugging is to send a successful (look for a
send this page as email link) HTML email to your outlook account.
Open the message in a new window and inspect the headers carefully.
Then you try to mimic that.
In the end I skip using php's mail() function and use a socket
connection and speak directly with the SMTP host.
It all seems so easy in the beginning, but as soon as you start
testing your html email in different email programs you realize that
they all behave slight differently. The differences between Eudora,
Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, Pine, etc are enough to drive you nuts.

If this is true, your probably only need that for the headers and not for the
