Search the forums; the keywords you want to use are "HTML" and "email".

See also the Newbie's FAQ; Question 2.

And example 4 on the manual page for the [man]mail[/man] function.

And next time, try searching for the answers yourself first.

The thing you could try is this:

Create a table or whatever you want to create in html.

Add this to the beginning of the first line of that html you created:

$body = "your html";

2nd line, add this:

$body .="your 2nd line of html";

The . before = concatenates everything together, in other words, piles everything up, so you'll end up with one variable called $body, which then can be used like this:

mail($recipient, $subject, $body, $headers);
