mail() with html?

[putroko]

I would like to send an email in HTML-format using the mail() function. Somehow, mail() just works with plain text which causes the recipient receiving plain HTML codes. I added "Content-Type: text/html" as additional header, but it still didn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris.

use this as part of your headers, then it will work.

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Cheers!

Thanks for the answer, but it still doesn't work. Below is my line, did I do something wrong?

mail("[e-mail]",$subject,$message,"From: ".$sender,"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

Thanks again,
Chris.

try this and see if it helps...

$headers = "From: \"your name\" <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

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

It works! Thanks a lot for your help.
