how you send and html formatted mail? 2

[sandravega]

Well, that's what I want to do:
send an email with images and a css link to format it

I'm constructing de headers part of the mail like this:

$mailHeaders = "From: reserve@selfcatering.com.ar\r\n";
$mailHeaders .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$mailHeaders .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"     
$mailHeaders .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";

I use $mailHeaders as the headers parameter of the mail function....
but then I get a mail full of trash characters... no matter how a simple html string the body of the mail is. I don`t have a clue of what's happening... So I wish you can help me.

Thank you all, anyway.

My advice is a strong recommendation that you use the [link htttp://phpmailer.sourceforge.net]PHPMailer[/url] class.

I've been here less than a month, and I've seen you reference the PHPMailer class on at least 5 occasions. Is it worth an FAQ?

Maybe it's not, since if any searches were done in the first place, these questions would not need to be asked.

I don't think "Use PHPMailer" would make a very interesting FAQ.

As I'm not an English speaker, many times I can't find the answers... but I keep searching.
Besides, not everybody writes good subjects for their questions...
And maybe a faq as simple as "how you send... " and the answer "use de phpmailer class" would work.

Sorry for bothering Mr clFlaVA.

Thanks anyway
