php mail() send in html format

Hi,
I'm testing to send emails in html format using php mail().

So I set header as follows,

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


But style sheets are not loading ... Pls help !!
Do I need to set text/css ??

 

hey there easywab,

instead of struggling with the mail function, while don't you give PHPMailer a try?

Might be the best option

 

Easier solution, rather than grappling with PHPMailer.

Open this:

http://danltn.com/bin/o0q.phps

Save that to 'mail.php';

Then:

<?php

require_once 'mail.php';

$mail = new email;

$html_mail = true;
$to = 'them@them.com';
$subject = 'Subject';
$message = 'Message';
$you = 'your@email.com';

$mail->html_mail($html_mail)->to($to)->subject($subject)->message($message)->from($you)->send();

PHP:

 

Oh nice class, although I wish it had a setCharset('UTF-8') along with it to apply in html_mail

 

Yeah I'll update that I guess.

Code I used before awhile back to send HTML email

 

Ahh style sheets you mentioned...I dunno that I sent anything but basic HTML with what I just put...
