Forwarding HTML email using PHP

[iceangel]

Hello everyone.

I am working on an HTML email for a client. Within the html page that is attached, is a link that says "Send to a friend". Basically once the person clicks on this link it will take them to a simple form where the friend's name and email address can be entered, and that HTML email that was received is then forwarded to that person.

I have been told that php can accomodate this, but i am very new to the language and would appreciate any assistance to get my email to work.

Thank you.

Well, it sounds like you want to send a html email from a page. Using the term 'forwarding' is going to confuse the issue, as that infers that you want to receive an email, then forward it on.
take a look at php.net's mail function documentation - It will tell you how to send emails, and more specifically, html emails, which is really just specifying an extra header, as opposed to standard plain-text emails.
