PHP Send HTML mail

Question

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\';

             


        

Answer 1

I use SwiftMailer:

require_once('../lib/swiftMailer/lib/swift_required.php');
...
function sendEmail(){
  //Sendmail
  $transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');

  //Create the Mailer using your created Transport
  $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

  $body="Dear $fname,\n\nYour job application was successful. \n\nYours,\n\nEamorr\n\n\n\n\n\n\n";


  //Create a message
  $message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Subject goes here')
    ->setFrom(array($email => "no-reply@yourdomain.com"))
    ->setTo(array($email => "$fname $lname"))
    ->setBody($body);

  //Send the message
  $result = $mailer->send($message);
}

You can send both plaintext and html email with ease.

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;

Answer 3

Fixed.

I found this which for some reason worked perfectly on my server:

// Set The Headers:
$headers        =   'From: "Me" <info@skillsexchangenetwork.net>'.PHP_EOL.
'Reply-to: <Me@Him.com>'.PHP_EOL.
'Cc: <Her @There.com>'.PHP_EOL.
'MIME-Version: 1.0'.PHP_EOL.
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'.PHP_EOL.
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit'.PHP_EOL.
'X-Mailer: PHP/'.PHP_VERSION.PHP_EOL;
// Send:
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Thanks for the input guys.
