I am trying to send an HTML mail through PHP, but I can’t seem to get it working.

This is my code:

    // multiple recipients
    $to  = 'mail';

    // subject
    $subject = 'Subject';

    // message
    $message = "
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>Thanks</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <b>Thanks for your email</b>
        </div>
    </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=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

    // Additional headers
    $headers .= 'To: info <info@example.com>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: Pynix <info@example.com>' . "\r\n";

    // Mail it
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

This also doesn’t show any sender when I receive it in Outlook.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks

    I don’t think you have to put the To: line in the header as it is a parameter of the mail function.
    However some mail clients don’t like light headers, here’s mine which is working:

    $header = 'From: "Contact" <mail>'.PHP_EOL.
                  'Reply-to: <mail>'.PHP_EOL.
                  'MIME-Version: 1.0'.PHP_EOL.
                  'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8'.PHP_EOL.
                  'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'.PHP_EOL.
                  'X-Mailer: PHP/'.PHP_VERSION.PHP_EOL;
