Php mail: how to send html?
The code below is sending an email correctly but for the body. I need to show html in the body of the message and I canno开发者_运维技巧t make it. The examples in the web won't send the email :(
How can I fix my code to send the email with the html in the body?
Thanks a ton!
<?php
$to = 'mymail@mail.com';
$subject = 'I need to show html';
$from ='example@example.com';
$body = '<p style=color:red;>This text should be red</p>';
ini_set("sendmail_from", $from);
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\nReply-To: " . $from . "";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo("<p>Sent</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Error...</p>");
}
?>
use this header for the mail:
$header = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset: utf8\r\n";
and for the content/body:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
... ... ...
it's important to use inline css commands and recommanded to use tables for the interface.
...
In your Mail-Body you than have to put HTML code with head and body
Have you looked at the headers of the incoming mail? It says
Reply-To: example@example.comContent-type: text/html
Simply add another \r\n here:
Reply-To: " . $from . "\r\n";
I recommend rather than messing around with doing this yourself you use one of the many free classes available all over the web to do it.
I would recommend: PHPMailer
I found this works well!

<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = 'youraddress@example.com';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test HTML email';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>
Simple answer: Don't do it. HTML emails are evil and annoying. At least if there's no PROPER plaintext version included. Proper = same information like in the HTML version, not just a stupid comment about getting another email client or a link to the html version if it's available on the web.
