Mail function?

**ilalonde** · May 20, 2003 12:08

Hi,

I'm using the built in mail function as follows:

$to=me@mydomain.com;
$subject="Website Contact";
$body="<html><body>First Name: $fname<BR>Last Name: $lname</body></html>";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn";
$headers="From: $email";
mail("$to","$subject","$body","$headers");

The fname, lname and email values are being passed from a form.

The email displays fine as above, but as soon as I add a third variable to the email body:
$body="<html><body>First Name: $fname<BR>Last Name: $lname<BR>Another Variable: $variable</body></html>";

the email displays with all the html code??

Hi,

No, the div tag didn't do anything...

This is crazy!!! As soon as I add another CHARACTER the email is displayed with all the tags visible.

What am I missing???

still dunno... try...$body="<html><body><div>","First Name: $fname","<BR>","Last Name: $lname","<BR>","Another Variable: $variable","</div></body></html>";

Try using better code first...

PHP Code:


$to = 'me@mydomain.com';

$subject = 'Website Contact';

$body = "<html><body>First Name: $fname<br>Last Name: $lname</body></html>";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0rn\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1rn\n";

$headers .= "From: $email\n";

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