Problem in using html tags inside mails

svan_rv

I have problem in sending mails with html formats. If i use tags like font,color,<br> it's ok. But when i construct my mail in a html format it's not considering.That is when i check the mail all the html tags which i have used are appearing as it is.

Could any one tell me what i need to do for my mails to accept the html formats.
Can anyone help me on this.I am using apache_1.3.27,PHP 4.1 and RedHat linux 8.

Thanks

Try setting up the mime version and content type to send HTML email:

mail("$to", "$subject", "$mailbody", "From: $name\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

I tried by adding these headers and is working ok.

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks all for your help.
