Problems with mail()
Im having a formatting issue with mail().
My simple script looks like:
$key = [email]blah@blah.com[/email];
$subject = "My membership";
$message_to_send = "<strong>Hello".$key."</strong>";
mail($key, $subject, $message_to_send, "From: [email]blah@blah.com[/email]");
When it comes to my email client it appears as:
<strong>Hello [email]blah@blah.com[/email]</strong>
Instead of:
Hello [email]blah@blah.com[/email]
I have also tried adding <html> and <body> tags but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I get other HMTL messages from amazon and such but it would appear that one generated from mail() is sending only raw text.
How do I get it to format HTML based message?

there's a setting which allows you to select plain text a-mails for
newsgroups and HTML for others.
To answer your question: Use the the fourth argument of the mail() function
to send a content type header with text/html as the value:
mail($key, $subject, $message_to_send, "From: [email]blah@blah.com[/email]\nContent-Type:
text/html");

Ryan Ramsey #3 Re: Problems with mail()
Ok here is another question...
It would seem that the mail() is injecting a "! " in the text of
$message_to_sender:
So text that should read:
There once were three bears that lived in a big black house.
Would look like:
There once were three bears that lived in a big blac! k house
Does this look familiar? Does mail() have an issue with the size of the
message being passed? If I increase the size of the text, the "! " will move
accordingly (im guessing at char 255).
