    I want to send a HTML email with mail() function via this php code:

    <?php
    // multiple recipients
    $to  = 'aidan@example.com' . ', '; // note the comma
    $to .= 'wez@example.com';
    
    // subject
    $subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
    
    // message
    $message = '
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
      <table>
        <tr>
          <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    ';
    
    // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
    
    // Additional headers
    $headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com' . "\r\n";
    
    // Mail it
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    ?> 
    PHP:
    But this code send a TEXT email and don't send a HTML code?

    I tested this code into 2 diffrent host but didn't work.
