PHP Mailform with HTML design

[zoid]

Hi there I have a simple php mail form, that looks like this:

$mymail = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Formulario: Trabaja con nosotros";
$contenido = $_POST["nombre"]." Escribio :\n";
$contenido .= $_POST["mensaje"]."\n\n";
$header = "From:".$_POST["mail"]."\nReply-To:".$_POST["mail"]."\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer:PHP/".phpversion()."\n";
$header .= "Mime-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/HTML";
mail($mymail, $subject, utf8_decode($contenido) ,$header);
echo "&estatus=ok&";

( I can't post the entire code, don't know why :?, so that it's only a portion)

It's that way because Macromedia Flash send the vars to it, but I want to put the answer, I mean the php returning mail, formated on a nice HTML design...

Is that possible? I'm a newbie with PHP, so any suggestions or comments will be so much apreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld zoid.

Sorry, but I'm not sure I follow what you want to do. Do you want to send a response message that would be in HTML format? Do you want to show the current message as a confirmation, and have that on your web page.

It's no problem for php to write emails containing html. Just put your content into $contenido and it will work:

$contenido = "<table><tr><td width=\"50%\">Nombre</td><td width=\"50%\">Indirizzo</td></tr>
<tr><td>$name</td><td>$adress</td></tr></table>";

And you have a html formatted mail

If it's not the problem, then write, as I might have misunderstood what the problem was.

PS. Any problems with sending larger chunks of text are firewall related (I have the same problem until I exit my firewall, don't know why however)
