send email in html format?

[illushinz]

I am trying to send an email in html format from a php form.

I'm using PHP3 on a RedHat 6.2 server with Apache running. I've got the form data collected via $HTTP_POST_VARS tags but I'd like to send the data to an email address in html format.

I've been looking at the mail() command, but am not really sure how to start.

If someone could just give me some pointers. When I send the email with the HTML tags in the body, my webmail client just displays the tags like regular text. I need to figure out how to identify my message content as Content-type: text/html

add these headers informations

$header = "From: \"".addslashes($sender_name)."\" <".$sender_email.">\r\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: ".$sender_email."\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$header .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\r\n";
$header .= "Cc: ".$other_email."\r\n";
$header .= "Bcc: ".$another_email."\r\n";
