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?
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.
PHP's mail function sends plaintext mail by default.
See the nr.4 example at mail's manual page for the correct way to send HTML mail.
You need to add your headers:
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($email, "Your Guestvibe list", $message, $headers);
You should firstly wrap the whole message into:
<html><head></head><body> msg </body></html>
Plus headers from m.edmondson post.

When sending an email I want to show the hyperlink value not the whole href.
This is my code
if ($model->update(array('status')))
{
$body.="Your account has now been verified. Please, login and spiff up your profile and take a look at our ,";
$body.="<a href='https://contactcenters.com/page/58/?Advertisewithus'>sponsorship program</a>";
$body.="to start building your business!";
$email=$model->email;
mail($email,$subject,$body,$headers);
//----------------------------------------------------------//
$this->redirect($model->user_id);
}
I want to send sponsored program not the whole href in the mail body. But whenever I send an email using this it prints <a href='https://contactcenters.com/page/58/?Advertisewithus'>sponsorship program</a>"; instead of Sposorship Program
I have tried to add double quotes inside single quotes but it didn't work.
You need to add to headers:
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
if you haven't done it yet.
Also you have to make sure your e-mail client is properly set. For example in Mozilla Thunderbird you may set it to display only TXT and then it may perform some changes to the content. Otherwise you may send email correctly but you will result you don't expect
Based on http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
You need to inform mail engine, that you are sending something more complicated then just text
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
You are sending the mail as plain text, so html would not be recognized. Add these to the $headers:
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
When I added "a href tag " in the mail body the mail is not sent.
If I remove this 'a href and www' tag, the mail sends and all other content display as per my requirement.
I don't know where is the exact problem, I'm using GoDaddy hosting with PHP 5.3 version.
If anyone has a better solutions please share with me .
<?php
// multiple recipients
$to = 'ali.dzinemedia#gmail.com';
// subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
// message
$message = '<a href=www.google.com>Click here</a>';
// To send HTML `enter code here`mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <ali.dzinemedia#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <ali.dzinemedia#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
echo "To : ".$to;
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Use this as the header:
$header = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset: utf8\r\n";
that's if you want to use HTML in the body, but you have to create well formatted HTML, you know with all of its tags: html, head, body, and close them all.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>Content here and this is a link</body>
</html>
I had the same problem once, turned out my spam filter blocked the mail when a link was in it and let it trough when I removed the link.
Took me some time to notice that
I have this code at the top of my email php file which sends out emails
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from <$from>" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: matt.e#posnation.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: posnation#gmail.com' . "\r\n";
I need to change this to just a plain text email ...what do i change. I was thinking the second line text/html to text/text but i wasnt sure
You want to change the "text/html" to "text/plain".
You can use text/plain
But if you enter html content the tags and all will be shown on the client though ...
But i'm sure there's an alternate way to support both text and html ...
Are you using the built in mail function or an external mail app like phpMailer?
You don't need to change anything.
Technically it should be "text/plain", but if you want, you can just as easily send an "HTML" email with no HTML tags and it will work just fine.
I'm trying to send email with hebrew content/subject like so:
$to = 'email#email.com';
$subject = "איזה יום יפה היום";
$message = 'ממש יום יפה';
$headers = 'From: email#email.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
But what I get in the subject is more Klingon than modern Hebrew. The message itself comes out fine, it's just the subject that's all messed up.
What can I do? (I'm open to any hacks you got)
The Content-Type does only describe the message content but not the header. You need to apply the encoded-word encoding on the Subject value. See my answer on PHP email header subject encoding problem for further information.
hay
i used this code
$to = "mial#live.com,mail#yahoo.com";
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: {$to}' . "\r\n";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'ok';
}
but see what is happend
every user see the full list of the users

Your call to mail is passing the $to as the to parameter meaning those emails will be be in the to header try passing an empty string instead. You are passing the info into the bcc header so the email should still get to them that way.
That is because you have put all the users in the "to" line. You are also passing them into the "bcc" line too so just doing this may help you but as far as I know you need at least one address in the to line (although this may not be the case). It'll look pretty strange for each person doing it that way though.
The best way to avoid these issues would be to send the email multiple times, once to each user. To modify your code example to do this, I'd do something like the following:
$toAddresses = array("mial#live.com", "mail#yahoo.com");
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
foreach ($toAddresses as $to) {
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "OK - sent message to {$to}";
}
}
The easiest way is to take this Mail-Class of phpguru.org:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5
There you can specify with setBcc() the addresses which should be "blind", it's pretty easy and works well. I use this class in every project.
Best Regards.
