    Hey,

    Is it possible to send html formatted email with the php mail() function? I am trying the send an email with various variables in it but i cant change the layout of the subject message the way i want it to look.

    I know you can add modules to your server but i dont think thats really an option for me.

    Thanks

    Yep, you sure can. Have a look on www.php.net. You just add a line to the header, and this lets you send mail formatted as HTML.

    Don't try and do anything overly fancy with HTML mails. The differences between mail clients is way worse than browsers, and your mail is likely to go all over the place if you start using CSS for layout and a whole pile of complicated settings.

    get a wysisyg editor like tinymce and add it to your main input box so that you can enter in your html bb code stuff at ease
