Hello I want to send an html email.

$subject = "Text email";
$sName  = "Chris Wheat";
$sEmail = "me@server.com";
$toemail = "".$row['email']."";
$sBuffer = "----------------- News Alert--------------------\n".
           " \n".
           "Hello ".$row['fname']." ".$row['lname'].",\n".
           "We've just added the following article to server:\n".
           " \n".
           "$title\n".
           " \n".
           "You can veiw this story by going to:\n".
           "http://www.server.com/home/news.php?news_id=$id\n".

Okay....so where are you stuck?

How to I turn this into html? Or do I just use this code with <html> tags?

Just regular html code in the body of the email(make sure to add slashes where needed). Then send the html mime headers. There's and example on the manual page.
