PHP HTML Mails?
I'm having a little problem with Email sending in PHP. For some reason, with Outlook 2001, it won't accpt the HTML email as HTML. I've got this;

Code:
mail("$toemail", $subject, $saved,
"From: $email_to\r\n"
."Reply-To: $email\r\n"
."MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");

I've also tried;

Code:
mail("$toemail", $subject, $saved,
"From: $email_to\r\n"
."Reply-To: $email\r\n"
."MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-type: text/html r\n");

Has anyone had any experiences with this kind of thing? Its really weird how it works on my computer, as well as hotmail account. He has also said that he receives other HTML emails fine from other companies...its just with this code that it won't work Frown

Here's what I use - works with Outlook 2000...

Code:
print MAIL "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
print MAIL "Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\n";
print MAIL "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";

See if it works.

<edit> it's for perl, but concept is the same</edit>

Slight problem, this is PHP, and not Perl Wink Thanks for the reply though.
