Talkupation: tgmiller5 is on a distinguished road
I created a mail script in PHP that shows the HTML format. However, when I received the output of it from Outlook, it shows me some weird characters or  . Is there a way to subsitute the html format to still make it look a like a table but eliminate the weird characters?

I just need the output to look like the following below:

Name: Susan Myers
Location: California


Thanks,

First, you can just use one $message = "

all the HTML code goes here

";

Second, you may want to try htmlentities($variable_containing_HTML) in replacement of those variables.
