applying stylesheet for a php mail

pradeepjain

Hii guys,
i am generating a php mail like this
[PHP]$message = '
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/themes/admitcard.css";</style>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="textcontent">
)<img src="/logo.jpg"></img></h3>
<table align="center" width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" id="img1">
<tr>
<td align="left">Ref=' . $ID . '</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table align="center" width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" id="img1">
<tr row span="20">
<td>Name</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><b>' . $name . '</b></td>
<td colspan=2><img src="http://dsfsdfsdf/pic.php?Id=528"></img></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><p>'. $address .'</p></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html> ';

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
//$headers .= 'To:'. $email . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: webmaster <webmaster@test.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: test@tst.com' . "\r\n";

// Mail it

$ok=mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

[/PHP]

this mail is getting delivered properly.but i want to apply css to this html..the stylesheet line that i have added is taking no effect..Can any one help.

You need to give the stylesheet a direct url (http://domain.com/stylesheet.css)

oh ok....the relative path will not work here..srry for that.Is there no other way to do it.such as writing the style in head itself...

Heya, Pradeep.

For best results, you should put your CSS directly into your HTML. GMail ignores stuff in the <head>, so even though it violates HTML standards, you need to put your <style> tags in the <body> of your email:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

  <body>

    <style type="text/css">

      ...

    </style>

  </body>

</html>
