[FX.php List] How to send HTML emails in PHP

Thu Jan 24 13:03:28 MST 2008

I've got a client for whom I send automated emails from their website;  
they're asking if I can add their logo to the email. I use something  
called "sock_mail" which was given to me by a consultant, and it's  
plain-text.

Is there an easy way to send an HTML email from PHP? I tried taking  
some HTML and putting it into an email body, but the message comes  
back as HTML code rather than what it's supposed to look like when  
displayed in an HTML email message.

Instead of pretty HTML, I received this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd 
">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http- 
equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" / 
 ><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body><img src="http://www.client.com/images/logo.jpg 
" width="376" height="55" /></body></html>

Any help would be mucho appreciated.
