send html mail

Gasolene

i have a simple mailing funciotn that works fine, but it send the html code as text.

the email message looks like source code.

$to = "$a_customer[FirstName] $a_customer[LastName] <$a_customer[Email]>";
$headers = "From: $a_user[MyEmail]";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
$subject = "Statement From $a_user[MyCompany]";
$body = "
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href='http://someurl/index.php?ID=$ID&uid=$a_user[user_id]&key="
.GET_KEY( $ID + 2 )
."'>click here to view</a>
</body>
</html>";

		if( !mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers )) TRACE_ERROR("error - could not send email");

how do i send email that does not just send the src code as a text message??

Does your code really say this:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";

--- or did the board remove the /'s for you? :eek:

Getting HTML email to work can be a real trick. And it can be very dependent on your server. You really just have to play with it till you get it right.

You might want to try changing the \r\n to \r or just \n. Try multiple mail clients too. It also always help to have a working example of HTML mail. AOL I think is the worst to get HTML mail to work with, especially if you don't have an account.

You do seem to be missing an \r\n on the From header.
