Mail function not working

[rosieraz]

Hi,

I am trying to send some HTML through the mail function. I have set my headers to:

$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject= "Placement Agreement Form";
$mailheaders = "From: PlacementAgreementForm\r\nContent-Type: text/html";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $address";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

However, instead of getting a HTML e-mail I get an e-mail with an attachment. This attachment has no extenstion and can therefore not be viewed. When I change the attachments name to add the extension .html. I get my e-mail.

How do I get the html to appear in the actual e-mail?

You have to add the content type, the mime type etc.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, you can use php mailer at http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/...

It is quite neat... supports sending plain text, html text and attachments also. Have a look, it is a great tool

So how do I add the content type? I was under the impression that all I had to do was add Content-Type: text/HTML to my header as I have done.

Thing is I can't use any one elses code as its a uni project (some bizarre uni policy!).
