[RESOLVED] HTML Formatted E-mail Being Displayed as Plain Text

rsmith

I have a script that requires a separate PHP file; that file defines the HTML table that is to be sent via e-mail. I put the table in a separate file to make it easy for any of the developers to open, understand and modify. The e-mail sends but it seems that it's not processing it correctly.

I have the following issues:

1.) The subject and from aren't set, instead both are set to "www-data".
2.) The HTML isn't parsed, instead the raw code is displayed.

Here's the PHP snippet of the submit.php

// Set some parameters
							$toESN = "user@mydomain.com";
							$fromESN = "otheruser@mydomain.com";
							$subjectESN = "Status Notifcation";
							$headersESN = "From: $fromESN" . "\r\n";
							$headersESN .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
							$headersESN .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

	           		// Load the formatting	
	           			require("./send-esn.php");

                        if(!mail($toESN,$fromESN,$subjectESN,$bodyESN,$headersESN)){
							echo "Error encountered";
						}

and here's send-esn.php, with confidential information and table data removed of course.

// Generate the body	
		$bodyESN = "
		<html>
		  <head>
		    <title></title>
		  </head>
		    <body>
	    	  <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' width='600' style='font-family:arial,verdana; font-size: 12px;'>
               </table>
            </body>
        </html>";

You should have something matching this first line, instead you have the second.. notice the problem?

mail(   TO ,   SUBJECT ,   MESSAGE ,   [HEADERS ,  [PARAMETERS]] )
mail($toESN , $fromESN , $subjectESN , $bodyESN , $headersESN)
