Problem is i want to make the email i send look alot better then it does now.
Here is my current email script

[code]
$to = “[email protected]”;
$subject = “Hardware Request Property $pp”;
$message = ”
Reason Requesting Replacement: $rfr
Make/Model Number: $mk , $md
WDS: $wd
Serial Number: $sn
MAC Address: $ma
IP Address: $ip
Property ID: $pp
Property Contact Name/Title: $ct
Shipping Severity: $sp
Ticket Number : $tt
Comments: $cm
“;
mail ($to, $subject, $message, ‘From: [email protected]’);
[/code]

And this is what the email looks like

[code]
Reason Requesting Replacement: Testing
Make/Model Number: BCEG , BCEG 5.5 dBi
WDS: no
Serial Number: 123654
MAC Address: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Property ID: 00000
Property Contact Name/Title: Me
Shipping Severity: ground
Ticket Number : 000000
Comments: Testing out this script
[/code]

Now that looks ok just like that i wanted to add some HTML code in to make it look better and add some color.
Problem is when i add the code it just displays the code. example

[code]
<html>
<body>
Reason Requesting Replacement: Testing
Make/Model Number: BCEG , BCEG 5.5 dBi
WDS: no
Serial Number: 123654
MAC Address: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Property ID: 00000
Property Contact Name/Title: Me
Shipping Severity: ground
Ticket Number : 000000
Comments: Testing out this script
</body>
</html>
[/code]

@prophitauthorNov 26.2006 — Found out the answer to my own question

had to add the headers in
<i>
</i>$headers= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."rn";
$headers.= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'."rn";

Then in my mail command i had to add the $header.

but here was the tricky part. If i added to the end for some reason that didnt work

it had to be before my From.

example...

No go
<i>
</i>mail ($to, $subject, $message, 'From: [email protected]', $header);



Worked great!!!!!
<i>
</i>mail ($to, $subject, $message, $header, 'From: [email protected]');

@NogDogNov 26.2006 — The "From" string should be added to you additional headers string for the 4th parameter.
