incoming mail reformat?

[kyre]

I have a PHP mail script that gets called from flash. when I receive the email is there a way to add html to dress the way it comes in instead of plain text? or can i use bold/different font sizes? also if a user doesn't type anything into a certain field, can the incoming email that I get not include that item at all? below is the PHP script. for example if I dont enter anything for "bagel" below, can "BAGEL: $bagel" not show up at all in the email that I get?


<?
$ToEmail = 'myemail@myemail.com';

$ToSubject = "subject line here";

$EmailBody = "
COMPANY NAME: $Name\n
ADDRESS: $Address\n
CONTACT PERSON: $ContactPerson\n
\n\n
MENU ORDERS\n
BAGEL: $bagel
TOAST: $toast
FRUIT: $fruit
";

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $EmailBody, "From: ".$Name." <".$Email.">");

?>

To answer your question, yes. The mail can be manipulated as it comes in. Look into procmail.

I think a better way is to format it before it leaves. Your script is creating the message; create it the way you want it. For the Bagel example, try something like this:

$EMailbody="COMPANY....";
if ($bagel) $Emailbody.="BAGEL: $bagel\n";

Always good to have when you are composing complicated mails is the PHPMailer class.
