php mail() not sending at html

krazyj

I am trying to email some html and can not get it to work. It only sends as plain text. I would appreciate any info about what is wrong/could be better as well.

Some of the body of the $message was cut out for size reasons

Your syntax is mangled towards the bottom (the line starting with $to = ); assuming that that is faulty copying on your part, and that the rn on the end of those header lines are really \r\n, my next question is if you've looked at the generated email to see if its format (headers, etc.) are intact and correct. (Incidentally, "$to" could be written as $to, since $to is already a string. Ditto for the other places where you do that.

Should be:

$to = "user <user@place.com>, " ; 
$to .= "user2 <user2@place.com>";

Yes, but since it's a parse error, and the original poster reckons it is sending email, what that tells me is that the code posted is not an accurate copy.

thanks for that input, I do have that part right in my code, I just removed the " by mistake when I changed the emails to fake ones. But does it look right for it to send html?

Frederick

This

$to = user <user@place.com>" . ", " ; 
$to .= "user2 <user2@place.com>"; 
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn" ; 
$headers .="Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn" ; 
$subject = "Rider Service" ; 


mail ("$to", "$subject", "$message","From: $email", $headers );

should be like this

$to = "user <user@place.com>,"; 
$to .= "user2 <user2@place.com>";
$headers = "From: $email";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0rn"; 
$headers .="Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn"; 
$subject = "Rider Service"; 


mail ($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Thanks for the input, but the content type didn't change to html and not in the from file of the email I get

From: "test@telus.comMIME-Version": 1.0rnContent-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1r

This format always works for me, I build newsletter scripts a lot

$sendto = "you@domain.com\n";
$subject = "Something to say, ey\n";
$header = "From: $senders_email\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

$message = "Hello everyone\n";
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Content\n";
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "\n";

$message = nl2br($message);
mail($sendto,$subject,$message,$header);

So I guess they're not.
