[RESOLVED] Sending email

[mikawhat]

I'm trying to send a mail for avery user that fills the application form.

$body = "New application received:
Name: $name
Address: $address
Phone: $phone
Fax: $fax
Email: $email
Date of birth: $bdate
mail ($email, 'New application received', $body, 'From: [e-mail]');

however i'd like to use some html tags inside the message like <b> and <u>. How can i do that?

did you read the manual page on mail? it has specific examples of sending HTML mail.

Hi Mikawhat,
Use the following script, it will allow you to use HTML tags in the body of your email sent via PHP.

// Read POST request params into global vars
$to = $_POST['clientemail'];
$from = $_POST['youremail'];
$name = $_POST['clientname'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];


$headers = "From: Your Name";
$headers .= "<$from>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from"; 
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9\n";
$headers .= "Importance: High\n";

mail("$to", "$subject", "Hi $name,<br><br>This is the body of my email.<br><br>Thanks for contacting us.<br><i>Someone will get in touch with you shortly.", $headers);
