$prd=$rs[prd];
$price=$rs[price];
text="$prd <br>$price";
}
$recipient = $iemail;
$subject = "my subject";
$headers = "From: xxx#xxx.com \n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: xxx#xxx.com \n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 \n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 \n";
$msg = $text;
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);

Answer 1

You need to accumulate all the array values into a single string for the message body.
$text = "";
while ($rs = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$ref_id_prd=$rs[ref_id_prd];
$prd=$rs[prd];
$price=$rs[price];
// Use .= to append to the current value
$text .= "$prd <br>$price\n";
}
To send it, use $text as the message body:
mail($recipient, $subject, $text, $headers);
Note, you will need to do additional formatting on the line below to get it looking the way you want in your HTML email:
$text .= "$prd <br>$price\n";
For example, you could make a list of products:
$text = "<ul>\n";
// inside the while loop...
$text .= "<li>$prd: $price</li>\n";
// After the loop, close the list
$text .= "</ul>"
Update: How to build it into an HTML table:
$text = "";
// Open the table:
$text .= "<table>\n";
// Table header...
$text .= "<thead><tr><th>Product</th><th>Price</th></tr></thead>\n";
// Open the table body
$text .= "<tbody>\n";
while ($rs = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$ref_id_prd=$rs[ref_id_prd];
$prd=$rs[prd];
$price=$rs[price];
// Build table rows...
$text .= "<tr><td>$prd</td><td>$price</td></tr>";
}
// Close the table
$text .= "</table>";

Replace your $message variable with $msg
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $headers);
