[Resolved] ENSURING Mails using sendmail are in HTML format

simply___skewed

Hey there folks,

Just a quick question - how does one ensure that an email being sent using sendmail() is sent in HTML format - without the possibility of being rendered as simply code in the email client.

Cheers all

Just make sure you add a header into the mail function that is like "Content-type: text/html" and it will be interpereted as html if the user's email client is capable of displaying it.

heres the code...

if($target_email == "")
{
header("Location: #");
break;
}
else
{

	$date = date("Y-m-d");
	$time = date("H:i:s");


	$ef_from = "[email address]";


	// define recipient	
	$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
	$headers .= " Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
	$headers .= "From: [email address]\r\n";

	//* additional headers 
	$mailto = $target_email;

	// set the subject of the mail
	$mailsubject = "Confirmation.";

	//build message body
		$announce_subject = $mailsubject;
		$announce_from_email = $ef_from;
		$announce_to_email = $mailto;

		$body = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>blah</TITLE>";


		$MP = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"; 
		$spec_envelope = 1; 
		// Access Sendmail
		// Conditionally match envelope address
		if($spec_envelope)
		{
				$MP .= " -f $announce_from_email";
		}
		$fd = popen($MP,"w"); 
		fputs($fd, "To: $announce_to_email\n"); 
		//fputs($fd, "From: $announce_from_name <$announce_from_email>\n");
		//fputs($fd, "Subject: $announce_subject\n"); 
		fputs($fd, "X-Mailer: PHP4\n"); 
		fputs($fd, "$body -\r\r\n", $headers); 
		pclose($fd);
