Hai !

When i attempt to change the default font in the mail body
it prints everythig as it is ..

[phpcode]
$body=$body . "<font face=Tahoma size=14>Free softwares</font>\n";
[/phpcode]


But the output prints every thing as follows >
<font face=Tahoma size=14>wel come to my website</font>

So please correct the code..

Either somwhere along the line your html is being run through htmlentities() or you havn't included mime headers in the email so the software reading it knows its HTML and not plain text (i think).

Have you set the following headers when you created the email?

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

hai stox and sheep

thank you for the post. after seeing your post i discoverd the problem may be in the headers. the header in my mail is as follows.

PHP Code:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers = $headers . "Content-type: text/html";
$headers=  $headers . "charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers=  $headers . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$headers = $headers . "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers = $headers . "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers = $headers . "X-Mailer: php\n";
$headers = $headers . "From: support@abcd.com\n";
$headers = $headers . "Return-Path: support@abcd.com\n"; 


If i place an "\n" at the end of 2nd line the font is really working as specified in <font> tag. but the mail body and header corrupts
out put in the mail is like >

charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: php From: support@abcd.com Return-Path: support@abcd.com Hello you@gmail.com this is an automated reply to your registration at ...................

Please examin the header and give me a solution

you are missing a semi-colon after html

Hai chris !

It seems there is a semi colon . could you pls post the line with correction ?

Not in the content-type string there isn't

$headers = $headers . "Content-type: text/html;";
$headers=  $headers . " charset=iso-8859-1\n";

and put a space before "charset"

your header code would be sent out to the server/client as
"Content-type: text/htmlcharset=iso-8859-1"

it should be "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

Hai chris thank you.

do i need to insert an "\n" after that :

i.e. "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"

Hi chris , stox , sheep.

my problem is solved with the help of your posts!!!

Let me rate the posts....

Yep.
Headers are terminated with a carriage return. RFC 822 if you want the technical details
