Here is the small PHP form im using:

<?php

$receiver = 'me@mymail.com';
$subject = 'Web Mail';
$fromemail = 'mail@mydomain.com';

$err_msg = '';
if((!$name) || (!$email) || (!$comments)){
        $err_msg = '<br />The following fields are missing, please insure you have filled out each field <br /><br />';

   if(!$name){
        $err_msg .= "* Your Name<br />";
    }
   if(!$email){
        $err_msg .= "* Your Email Address<br />";
   }
   if(!$comments){
        $err_msg .= "* Your Comments<br />";
   }
   include 'index.php';

 exit();
}

$arr= array();

	$arr[0] = "\n Nature of Inquiry: ";
	$arr[1] = $Inquiry;
	$arr[2] = "\n Name is: ";
	$arr[3] = $name;
	$arr[4] = "\n forumusername is: ";
	$arr[5] = $forumusername;
	$arr[6] = "\n Email is: ";
	$arr[7] = $email;
	$arr[8] = "\n Comments are: ";
	$arr[9] = $comments;

$content = ($arr[0]. $arr[1] . $arr[2] . $arr[3] . $arr[4] . $arr[5] . $arr[6] . $arr[7] . $arr[8] . $arr[9]);

mail("$receiver", "$subject!", "$content", "From: $fromemail");
header( "Location: thankyou.html" ); 

?>

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

You need to send your email in HTML, with HTML headers and then you can use <font style="anyfont">text</font>

 

What do you think i need to do in the above codes to enable this?

 

Here is the function in the manual:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Scroll down the page and eventually you will see an example of allowing html in the email. However I am a big fan of PHPMailer, especially the SMTP functions. With PHPMailer you can easily add html support, even give the non html version as well as easily attach files to your email. Give it a look if you need more functionality in emailing:

yep, like this (if you use the php mail function)

		$to = 'address@target.com';
		$subject ='bold text';
		$body = '<strong>bold text</strong>';

		$headers =  "From: email@website.com\r\n";
		$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

		if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
		  echo "<p>Message successfully sent!</p>";
		 } else {
		  echo "<p>Message delivery failed...</p>";
		 }

PHP:

you define the content as html with an additional header :

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

PHP:

and add the header as fourth variable to the mail function
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
