I am trying to send and email from a form using php. I got that to work.
The problem is that when I receve the email it is a text version with all the html tags showing.
looks like this: - <HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY><table width="440" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"><tr><td colspan="2"><em>The following was receved from the General Estimate form</em></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>I am interested in these type(s) of relocation:</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><ul><li>Commercial</li><li>International</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>Contact Info:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Name</td> <td>jason</td></tr><tr><td>Company Name</td> <td>questfore</td></tr><tr><td>Phone Number</td> <td>234-567-8907</td></tr><tr><td>Best Time to Contact</td> <td>Morning</td></tr><tr><td>Email</td> <td>jasons@questfore.com</td></tr><tr><td>City</td> <td>pittsburgh</td></tr><tr><td>State</td> <td>pa</td></tr><tr><td>Zip</td> <td>15203</td></tr><tr><td>Country</td> <td>use</td></tr><tr><td>DesCity</td> <td>imperial</td></tr><tr><td>DesState</td!
-
> <td>pa</td></tr><tr><td>DesZip</td> <td>15126</td></tr><tr><td
-
> colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac;
-
> color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>Special
-
> Circumstances:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>PackSrv</td>
-
> <td>yes</td></tr><tr><td>Storage</td> <td>no</td></tr><tr><td
-
> colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac;
-
> color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>How did you hear about
-
> Weleski?:</strong></td></tr><tr><td
-
> colspan="2"><ul><li>Television</li><li>Invite</li><li>Web</li><li>&nbs
-
> p;</li></ul></td></tr></table></BODY></HTML>
should look like this: (tags shouldn't be showing only a table with all data) -
<table width="440" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"><tr><td colspan="2"><em>The following was receved from the General Estimate form</em></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>I am interested in these type(s) of relocation:</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><ul><li>Commercial</li><li>International</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>Contact Info:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Name</td> <td>jason</td></tr><tr><td>Company Name</td> <td>questfore</td></tr><tr><td>Phone Number</td> <td>234-567-8907</td></tr><tr><td>Best Time to Contact</td> <td>Morning</td></tr><tr><td>Email</td> <td>jasons@questfore.com</td></tr><tr><td>City</td> <td>pittsburgh</td></tr><tr><td>State</td> <td>pa</td></tr><tr><td>Zip</td> <td>15203</td></tr><tr><td>Country</td> <td>use</td></tr><tr><td>DesCity</td> <td>imperial</td></tr><tr><td>DesState</td> <td>pa</td></tr><tr><td>DesZip</td> <td>15126</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>Special Circumstances:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>PackSrv</td> <td>yes</td></tr><tr><td>Storage</td> <td>no</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#2362ac; color:#FFFFFF;"><strong>How did you hear about Weleski?:</strong></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><ul><li>Television</li><li>Invite</li><li>Web</li><li> </li></ul></td></tr></table>
Please help, I think it has something to do with the header data but I don't know what to put.
Thanks

Heya, Jason.
To send an HTML Email, you need to set a couple of headers.
Check out this example.
Thanks for the link. I inserted the code for the header and still no luck.
Could it be a php security thing?
here us the code i am using:
[PHP]
$cancelSubmission = false;
if(!isset($_POST['formName'])){exit('Error: no form name found!');}
//if(!isset($_POST['submit'])) {exit('Error: submit was not pushed!');}
//This value defines the subject
$strSubject = "Message from the website - form: " . $_POST['formName'];
//This value defines the sender and receiver email addresses
$strSender = "" //where the email is from (probaly don't need this, it's automaticly generated by the server)
$strReceiver = "" //my email address
//This value defines the re-direction of the browser after submission
$strRedirectURL = 'acknowledgement.htm';
//This value defines body of the email
//a bunch of code that cleans up the form data for the client
//it creates the muli-dimentional array used below
//Create table with titles for each section
$strMessage = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";
if($fArrayMulti[0][1] == "general_est" ){
//a bunch of code that makes the table
}
//Check to make sure email is not garbage
if(($fArrayMulti[$part[0]][1] == ' ' || $fArrayMulti[$part[0]][1] == '') && ($fArrayMulti[$part[0]+2][1] == ' ' || $fArrayMulti[$part[0]+2][1] == '')){
$cancelSubmission = true;
}
//Compile mail and send it
//if(cancelSubmission != true){
//add header
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
if(mail($strReceiver, $strSubject, $strMessage, $header)){
echo "Mail Sent.";
}else{
echo "Error sending email! Message not sent!";
}
//JS_redirect( $strRedirectURL );
//}else{
//JS_redirect("../../home.htm");
//print("Submission canceled");
//}[/PHP]
Heya, Jason.
When you send the mail, you use $header instead of $headers. Is this intentional?
YOUR a freakn genius!
and i feel retarded...
I must have copied code a while ago and never changed it in the mail() function
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
