Send HTML Email

Dysan

Hi, I can send text only emails, but how does one send HTML ones?

NogDog

Did you read the mail() manual page and look at the examples?

yah dood, php.net pages = wealth of everything you need, lol.

to help though:


$to = 'To Address <blah@toaddress.com>'; 
$cc = 'Carbon Copy Address<cc@ccaddress.com>';
$from = 'From Address <blah@Fromaddress.com>';
$subject='Subject';
$body='
	<html>
	<head>
	  <title>Subject</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<p>
			BODY COPY/CODE
		</p>
	</body>
	</html>
';

send_email($to,$subject,$body,$from,$cc);

//SEND HTML EMAIL
function send_email($to,$subject,$body,$from=NULL,$cc=NULL,$bcc=NULL)
{
    // www.phphaven.com - j.riley 10/12/2007
	$params = 
		'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n".
		'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n".
		'From: ' .$from. "\r\n".
		'Reply-To: ' .$from. "\r\n".
		'Cc: ' .$cc. "\r\n".
		'Bcc: ' .$bcc. "\r\n";
	$from = '';
	mail ($to,$subject,$body,$params);
	return TRUE;
}

Whatever tickles your pickle right... but if you just want to send HTML emails, look at what I and Nog Dog posted as they're both out of the php.net site (or related to).

Also, if you've solved, put [RESOLVED] in the header - click thread tools at the top, then resolved.

All the above code does, is post the html as text. It doesn't format the output. How do I put some text in bold within an email?

Yo homie... so follow along bro: Add <strong>YOUR TEXT</strong>

That's Extremely Helpful Cheers Everyone. It's Working.
One last question though: I am sending the emails to my Hotmail account, and they are getting block as being potentially dangerous. Why is this? How do I stop this?

Test certain configurations out. They could be getting blocked because your domain is blacklisted, the content is a problem, you're not specifying the mailer, etc. There are a million reasons why it may be getting flagged to bulk (as spam).
