Recomendation - HTML on PHP

Dihan22

Hi
I'm using this script which send an email from my web site to a chosen email address and another to the admin address.

My problem is that I would like this email to be in HTML but as soon as I insert an image the script reufses to work. Is it because the code should be in php, not html ?

I'm sure its some simple solution that I just cannot work out.

Thanks for you time.

<?

// Gets the date and time from your server
$date = date("d/m/Y H:i:s");

// Gets the IP Address
if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

//Process the form data!
// and send the information collected in the Flash form to Your nominated email address aii
IF ($action != ""):
mail("$femail","Site Recomendation",

The script works but the image comes out as the bare script below. I think the email is seen as a normal text email not html. How can I change this ? or does it just detect it if html coding found on the email ?

Thanks for you help leatherback

Oh,

Yes. i notice now. Eehm.. You have to tell that it is a html message. Search for mime / multi-part email in the help or these forums. I am sure I saw a good post on that a few days ago.

(I am horrible in html-emails, else I would have given you the code directly)

you have to add something like:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii

to the header of your message.

I think I know what your on about. It sets that head script on Dreamweaver I think, I'm sure I got that some where. Now to search 20 Gig's of files.

Thanks agian for the help. Much appreciated.

Ps If anyone know the absolute solution to this please post here.

Just "stole" this from the newbies forum..:

$to = "the.email@domain.com";
$subject = "Request for an email alert";
$message = "Blah!";

$headers = "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n";
$headers .= "From: your-email@domain.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: your-email@domain.com\r\n";

// send it
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) or die("Sending Failed");

Suppose you'd have to change the text/plain into text/html

Hey,

Thanks for the help leatherback.

I decided to keep to text so that everyone would be able to read the message without any problems. Html is nice but dont think its going to work too well

Thanks again
