Like so:

$to = 'someone@something.com';
$subject = 'HTML Email!';
$message = '<a href="http://www.php.net">PHP.net</a>';
$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hi, Pest,
According to your suggestion, I made a simple scripts as

<?
$to='qianxcn@ozemail.com.au';
$subject='tst mail';
$body='Hi, Dave, Sunstone put ATS there';
$headers="(Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\r\n)";
$send_check=mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
if($send_check!=true)
{
echo "an error occurred when sending mail";
die();
}
?>

But it seems it always gives me "an error accurred when sending mail". I do not know what's wrong. My other PHP scripts work fine on my FreeBSD4.7 server. My php version is 4.0.5-dev.

Your early reply will be highly appreciated

The Content-Type header shouldn't be in () the way you have it in your script.

Dear WeedPacket

I tried the way not using $headers, as simple as
<?
mail("jennifer@tevn.com","test","this is test body");
?>
It still not working.
I set the mail path in /usr/local/lib/php.ini as
...
sendmail_path='usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i'

I suspect the above setting is wrong, or what's ever, rather than mail("jennifer@tevn.com","test","this is test body");
has syntax problem , do you think so?

Your advice will be highly appreciated,

I just create my html page that i want to email, cram it all down in to the $body variable:

$body=$body."<html>text</here>";
$body=$body."<more>text</here>";

Then send it using this!

mail("$email","$subject","$body","Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii")

Hope this helps

Hi, I tried as this

<?
$email="jennifer@tevn.com";
$subject="test";
$body="this is a tst";
$mail=mail("$email","$subject","$body","Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii");
if($mail)
echo "success";
else
echo "no good";
?>

And I still get "no good" on my browser.

Do not know why!

Thanks anyway
Jennifer

sounds like its a permissions problem, check the permissions on your spool folder
