Re: PHP mail

Hi adcodingmaster,

It sounds like you are sending a plain text email.
To send it in HTML format, add this header

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n" . "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n" . "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

This will add the correct text to the variable called $headers (it will not replace it). Change this variable name if needed.

Hope this helps.
