You need to change the headers to define "text/html" instead of the default, which is plain text. (headers are the fourth argument in the mail() function)

You only need the first 2 lines of the headers below, but there's some additional headers in case you wanted to see how to add those as well. Also, make sure to "\r\n" in double quotes, not single quotes, AND they must appear at the end of every line in the headers

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
// Additional headers
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
 
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n";
 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// Additional headers
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n";

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

Very nice, Paradox. Very clean code. I've had some difficulty with this in the past, I am definitely going to reference this page.

Oh, but in reference to another post I answered, I think UTF-8 may work a bit better.

Your absolutely right omniuni, I would use utf-8 instead.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$headers.= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' .' "\r\n";
 
$headers.= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' .' "\r\n";

Since my site is completely in English, it hasn't made a difference (to me). But in general you never know what countries/languages your visitors will be coming from and this is something you should get right the first time so you never have to worry about it.

Hello, All this code will help you to send mail but in mail if you need same like home page or you want to show image in mail or css or html code with same color then you have to change all the path of image to server page means your images in image floder so your current page will be images/image name Now when you want to show this image into mail then your path will he http://domainname.com/images/image name

Same for CSS and all the path

i hope this will help you ..
