Hi everyone.

In PHP, how do I submit data by e-mail as HTML to a specified address? And where can I find samples of that in http://www.php.net/ ?

Thanks & regards,
Hafidz

You need to compose a multipart/alternative message that includes an
HTML part and a text part for e-mail clients that do not support HTML
only messages. You need to do this even if you do not care for users
with mail clients that do not read HTML messages, otherwise many spam
filters will filter your message.

If your message contains non-ASCII characters, you also need to encode
the messages as with quoted-printable encoding.

This is not trivial but fortunately there are some ready to use
components to do that for you. I recommend that you try this class that
even comes with an example the explains how to embed images in the HTML
messages if you want.
