how to send an HTML content via php mail()
Question
I am trying to send an HTML e-mail using this code but all i am getting is FALSE from the mail() function.
The error_log is empty.
Can someone tell me why mail() is not working?
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<table rules="all" style="border-color: #666;" cellpadding="10">';
$message .= "<tr style='background: #eee;'><td><strong>Name:</strong> </td><td>SDFSDF</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td><strong>Email:</strong> </td><td>VXCVSDF</td></tr>";
$message .= "</table>";
$message .= "</body></html>";
$to = 'my_mail@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Website Change Reqest';
$headers = "From: USER NAME"."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: USER EMAIL"."\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"."\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo 'Your message has been sent.';
} else {
echo 'There was a problem sending the email.';
}

It's hard to debug PHP mail() function.
After checking your script, I can confirm that your code is working fine. It's something with your server or/and PHP configuration.
Start with this little snippet to see what is happening:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', -1);
echo '<br>I am : ' . `whoami`.'<br>';
$result = mail('myaddress@mydomain.com','This is the test','This is a test.');
echo '<hr>Result was: ' . ( $result === FALSE ? 'FALSE' : 'TRUE') . ' ('. $result. ')';
echo '<hr>';
echo phpinfo();
After output, check your sendmail_path , in most case sendmail_path uses sendmail MTA:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
Edit your php.ini file, set the following and don't forget to restart httpd server:
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
Check log files at /var/log/maillog , it could really help you to solve the problem.
If you still have a problem, just take a good look at PHPMailer , SwiftMailer , PEAR's Mail or Zend Framework's Zend_Mail an excellent, comprehensive, modern PHP mailing library. It will be easy to debug your problem after all.
