Email output formatting

Tswitz00

I have a form writting in flash that hits a php file and sends an email to the user who filled it out and it sends one to me with all of their information. The problem I am having is i cant seem to format the output that is sent in the email. THis is some of the code:
mail("$adminaddress","Email header",
"A vistor at my site left the following information\n
blah
blah
blah")

I can get the newline character to work in it but I cant get tab to work ive tried \t and I would like to know how to make certain headings bold and other text formatting.

Thanks for the help.

to do formatting (bold, italics, etc...) you need to send HTML email. read the manual page on the mail function. there are examples there of how to send HTML mail.

Create your message using HTML but do not use double quotes in your message.
Use example as follows:

$header = "From: Site Title <$users_email>\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$header .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n";

$message = "<html>\n";
$message .= "<body>\n";
$message .= "<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>\n";
$message .= "<tr>\n";
$message .= "<td>Just text in the table cell</td>\n";
$message .= "</tr>\n";
$message .= "</table>\n";
$message .= "</body>\n";
$message .= "</html>\n";

$sendto = $destination_email;
$subject = "Subject of email";

mail($sendto,$subject,$message,$header);
