html mail arriving as text

I am trying to send an email as HTML using PHP mail() function, but several of the people who have received a mail from me say that its is HTML in text form, not HTML display (ie. Like a web page).

I have checked the headers and I cant see anything wrong.

Is the following OK? if not, what have I done wrong.

<?php
$from = “me@myemailaddress.com”;
$to = “someone@anothieremailaddress.com”;
$subject = “My subject”;

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "From: $from\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: $from\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n";

$message = “
<html>
<body>
<p>Hi, This is my message.</p>
</body>
</html>
“;

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Thanks…

hi ray, try these lines as header first:


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

and then put the remaining headers, such as from, cc, etc.

let me know how you make out

hth, jenny

That seems to have worked.

It's the end of the day here, so I will get my real feedback tomorrow sometime.

Thanks for your help.
