HTML Emails

StevenCarlisle

Can someone explain to me how i would get the following to send an HTML email.

$subject = "Welcome to mysite.com!";
$message = "Dear $first_name $last_name,!";

mail($email_address, $subject, $message, "From: mysite.com Webmaster<support@mysite.com>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

we can i place <html></html> elements in the above code? or should i use a different method?

There is an example under [man]mail/man.
