"A quick PHP - mail() question"

I tried using this to send the mail as an HTML E-mail, but instead got all the HTML rather than the formatting.

All I did was write the HTML within the Content segment of the function.

Is it actually possible to have the mail sent as an HTML mail thought the mail() function, and if so, how can I tell the function to do this?

Thanks.

Indeed, the client needs to know it's in HTML first :)

It's ok, I found it after a second browse through the PHP manual.

All I needed was to put the content type in:

"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

... within the fourth paramater (where the headers for the mail are set).

For anyone else who's interested:

$To = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "test - HTML";

$Content = "";
$Content .= "";
$Content .= "Hello,
this is a test.";
$Content .= "";
$Content .= "";

$Headers = "FROM:[email protected]\r\n";
$Headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$Headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";

mail($To,$Subject,$Content,$Headers) or print "

Mail not sent.

";
