Question

I am using the following code:

$message = "Hi ".$user.
  ",\r\rThe following names are on the guestlist for <b>".$night.
  "</b> on ".$date2.":\r\r". $user ."<br>". implode(", ", $names).
  "\r\rThank you for using Guestvibe.";

mail($email, "Your Guestvibe list", $message);

The carriage returns in PHP are working fine, but neither the <b> or <br> tags are coming out. Is it just my mail client (Apple Mail) playing up, or is there a fix for this?

Answer 1

You are sending the e-mail as text only not HTML, I believe you need to set these headers:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n";

as in example #4 of the docs.
