You’ve probably come across this error before. I cannot seem to fix it.
Gmail seems to be ignoring my HTML emails and is just showing the code.
All other clients (or all that I know of) are displaying the content correctly.

Here is my code (with certain things changed to hide the name)

     $to = "$EmailAddress";
     $subject = "My subject!";
     $headers = "From: no-reply@mydomain.co.uk\r\n" .
     "X-Mailer: php";
     $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
     $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
     $message = '<html><body>';
     $message .= '<center><img width="300px" src="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/images/mylogo.png"/><br />';
     $message .= '<br /><br />';
     $message .= '<h2>Hello '.$UserName.',</h2>';
     $message .= '<b>Thanks for joining!</b><br /><br />';
     $message .= 'Please find your login details below.';
     $message .= '_____________________________________<br /><br />';
     $message .= 'Username: '.$UserName.'<br/>
                  Password: '.$Password.'<br />
                  <br />';
     $message .= '_____________________________________<br /><br />';
     $message .= 'Thanks,<br/>My company.<br/>';
     $message .= '<br/><a target="_new" href="http://www.mydomain.co.uk"/>www.mydomain.co.uk</a>';
     $message .= '</center>';
     $message .= 'my company &copy; 2012';
     $message .= '</html></body>';

     $success = mail($to,$subject,$headers,$message);

my Question is, is there a way to either offer an alternative plain text version of the email should the email client not be able to read this code or is there something I need to add in order for Gmail to understand it?

I apologise if this is a duplicate, but I cannot seem to find this question on here.
Thanks in advance.

    you have some typo’s in your code, i don’t know how other client displaying content correctly. i worked on them and got succeeded, hope will work for u too, try this;

    $to = "$EmailAddress";
$subject = "My subject!";
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<center><img width="300px" src="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/images/mylogo.png"/><br />';
$message .= '<br /><br />';
$message .= '<h2>Hello '.$UserName.',</h2>';
$message .= '<b>Thanks for joining!</b><br /><br />';
$message .= 'Please find your login details below.';
$message .= '_____________________________________<br /><br />';
$message .= 'Username: '.$UserName.'<br/>
Password: '.$Password.'<br />
<br />';
$message .= '_____________________________________<br /><br />';
$message .= 'Thanks,<br/>My company.<br/>';
$message .= '<br/><a target="_new" href="http://www.mydomain.co.uk"/>www.mydomain.co.uk</a>';
$message .= '</center>';
$message .= 'my company &copy; 2012';
$message .= '</body></html>';

$success = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
