How to send HTML in email via PHP?
To send HTML in email via PHP, we can set the Content-Type header of the email.
For instance, we write
<?php
$to = "bob@example.com";
$subject = "Website Change Request";
$headers = "From: " . strip_tags($_POST["req-email"]) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . strip_tags($_POST["req-email"]) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "CC: susan@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$message = "<p><strong>This is strong text</strong> while this is not.</p>";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
to add "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n" to the $headers of the email message.
Then we set $message to a string with HTML content.
Finally, we call mail to send the HTML email message by calling it with $to, $subject, $message and $headers.
