Using HTML tags in PHP code

[nathanpacker]

Is it possible to use HTML tags in PHP code? I have a php script that emails some form inputs to my email address, and I would like to bold certain words in it. The code preforms the message first, and then just posts the message in the body of the email like this:

$body = "Date Submitted: $today\n Client: $client\n From: $requestor\n $services";

I would like to make some words bold. Like the word Client. In that body message, how can I make it come up bold in the email?
Thanks.

Use the content-type:text/html instead of content-type:text/plain header when sending off the email.

Thanks cscgal. Kudos to you for being so involved in your forum. I swear you answer almost every post, and I don't know how you do it!

But if I may bother you once more, where do I include this content-type:text/plain? At the heading of the php script or something? I wrote the script by hand, so it's very unformal, and probably not really legit.

Thanks again!
