Hey.

Does this Server Support PHP with mail HTML?

I can't get it to work.

Heres my Code.

Code:
mail('webmaster@xx.com', 'Subject',
                         '<body>

My HTML Email HEre!
</body>',
                         "To: $Reciever\n" .
                         "From: $sendersname <$sender>\n" .
                         "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
                         "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");


Thanks for any Help.

ofcourse it supports sending html messages. The only thing you have to be careful is escaping special characters like " ' and so on. If you accidentaly let one in it will break the string. ALso, it would help if you could post an error message if you received one.
Check out the functions addslashes() and stripslashes() which can help you with escaping and reverting the text to it's former state Smile

Hm. Can't find anything wrong in this code.
Try to use >>"<< instead of >>'<<
And cut your variables out of the string. I know php should accept it, but on my Apache is doesn't properly. So I use to write
Code:
echo "Hello Mr. ".$VAR." How are you?";

You sure can!

First off, you are not separating your headers properly. Each header must be separated with "\r\n", just a newline character isn't acceptable to the browser/e-mail host. So you must always add a carriage return (\r) and a newline (\n) between headers.

Now then, as for why it doesn't work when you do have those headers...I would first suggest that you don't put so many carriage returns in the strings. Instead, you should compile the string into a variable, which can then be mailed out.

Simply use something like
Code:
$message = "<body>\n\nMy HTML Email Here!\n</body>";


Or, you can use the . operator to continue appending data to the variable. The big question here is what goes wrong? Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? Or do you receive the e-mail, but see nothing at all, or the tags right there? Do you just not get the email?

Hope I could help somehow.

PS: For more detailed information, visit the php.net mail() function page.

Hey,

Thanks For The Link.

Again, the method set in PHPnet Does not work with MSN?..Why!?

The only times it seems to send my email is when it is sent from [Server] which i do not want because it'll only end up in the Junk Mail.

Is there any additional Headers that i may need so that Msn will accept my script?

Thanks.
moejoe
Tested:

Works Very Well With Yahoo.

MSN still Has Problem.

Please HelP!.
