Send HTML in email via PHP

Question

How can I send an HTML-formatted email with pictures using PHP?

I want to have a page with some settings and HTML output which is sent via email to an address. What should I do?

The main problem is to attach files. How can I do that?

Answer 1

It is pretty simple, leave the images on the server and send the PHP + CSS to them...

$to = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'Website Change Reqest';

$headers = "From: " . strip_tags($_POST['req-email']) . "
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($_POST['req-email']) . "
";
$headers .= "CC: [email protected]
";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
";

$message = '<p><strong>This is strong text</strong> while this is not.</p>';


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

It is this line that tells the mailer and the recipient that the email contains (hopefully) well formed HTML that it will need to interpret:

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
";

Here is the link I got the info.. (link...)

You will need security though...
