Hi,
I am trying to send a html email from a php script. This script emails
a common information to all the members in the database. The only
problem is I cannot specify colors, hyperlinks etc..Html tags like
<h1></h1>, <br/>, <b> etc works though..
Could any one tell me what i might be doing wrong? Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ann

No one likes HTML mails.
Your php knows that.
SCNR :)
Mail is Mail, not Web.
If you want your users to view Webpages send them a link.
And: HTML mails are often placed higher in spam rankings,
especially when not send correctly. So there's a high chance your
receivers will never read that, because their spam filters catch
it.

<obligatory>
- I agree with that guy about HTML emails, but understand that sometimes you
don't have a choice
- Single quotes are usually preferable for PHP strings, as PHP doesn't have to
search them for variables
- Though most browsers parse them okay, you really should use double quotes for
HTML attributes
- *cough*CSS*coug h*
</obligatory>
$content .="<small><fo nt color='blue'>Pl ease send an email to <a
href='mailto:ab *@def.com&subje ct='Re:Email Notifications' to get more
information.</font></small>";
^^^^ this line is suspicious. Unless my NG reader mangled the mailto (which is
entirely possible), you don't have a closing </A> tag, you have a '&' instead of
'?' for the query string, you have a space and a single quote in your subject,
you didn't close your opening A tag with a '>' or even the proper quote
I'd try this:
$content .='<small><font color="blue">Pl ease send an email to <a
href="mailto:ab *@def.com?subje ct='.urlencode( 'Re:Email Notifications') .'">some
address</a> to get more information.</font></small>';
If that doesn't fix it, try viewing source and copying the HTML from the emails
you receive and run it through the w3c html validator (somewhere at w3c.org).

Has anyone tried sending web pages containing javascript to another user
also using Outlook Express?
Mine don't work on the other end - although I'm not sure if this is because

Should it work?
