PHP question

[..\\Dutch./..]

Hi all

I created a webshop and thats working great
But i have a small problem which i cant get solved.

When a customer checks out he sees a confirmation page
which he can print. That same page sends also a autoresponder that shows the
customer what he just buyed.

The auto responder is plain text and looks like shit so i had the idea to
make that part html formatted.

I added all codes for that into the script but when i receive
the email i just see also the code and not the nice tables that i wanted.

Anyone here who can tell me what is the correct way to create this?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Hi,

2 things:

<Dutch>
Eerst geef ik je even op je flikker omdat je iets heel erg fout doet.
Verderop geef ik je antwoord.
OK?
</Dutch>

1) DO NOT POST TO MANY NEWSGROUPS!
That is considered rude (=onbeschoft)
For example: You are sending your question to:
alt.php.sql do you think your question has anything to do with sql??

and php.install
Does your question have anything to do with installing PHP?
No.
So don't send there.
In general: always send to 1 newsgroup unless you have some very good reason
not to.

Please understand MANY people don't answer your question if you post to many
newsgroups at the same time because they consider you an @^%^!!X!!
I guess you are new, so please check a FAQ on nettiquette.
(google for it)

2) Why does your HTML not show up?
Read this:
[url]http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php[/url]

It is all there.
And remember that your emailclient must be able to receive HTML-formatted
messages. Not all clients have that! So you might reconsider sending the
email in HTML.

Good luck/succes,
Erwin Moller

Suppose you're coding php?

In addition to the comments made by Erwin, please be more specific and
SHOW CODE. That will sharply increase the chance someone is gonna help.

Change

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

to

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

Don't. Use plain text. If you want to create pretty tables, look into
the printf and sprintf functions.

Is their any special downloads or patched needed to use DWMX with PHP.
I downloaded PHP nuke with Mysql and Apache server.
I am just learning and am trying to figure out what I need.
I am using xp home.

You can use PHP natively with Dreamweaver. DWMX first ask you for a
sevrver model when you start building your site. If you want to work with
PHP-Nuke please make sure you connect correctly to it through dreamweaver.

This means that your testing server and remote server should be pointing
to the server folder or Directory Root (/www/)

Also make sure that you Apache-PHP-MySQL are working togheter and
correctly.

Load the php-nuke database to your dreamweaver:
