Default Sending HTML mail using PHP
Is it possible to send HTML formatted email using php? I am able to send text mail using php but when I use html tags they are displayed as plain text.

Are you setting the content type e.g. Content-Type: text/html; in the header?

No, can you show me sample of code, so that I know how to use it. I have read somewhere and trying to read striptags right now. Will it work with it?

Not sure what you mean about striptags but there's a good tutorial here on HTML email with PHP.. Alternatively you could use a pre-built component like PHPMailer.

Ok thank you everyone for their support. I have used phpmailer and its working great now. Is there anyone who is having newsletter script now. SO I can use it with my email class and send html news letters?

If you mean are there any newsletter scripts available, then yes, there are loads! But why would you want to use one? I mean, you seem to be familiar with php and mysql, and now phpmailer also, so all you need is a form. And if you want to use plenty of html in your newsletter then install a wysiwyg editor in your form like the one I use, which is fantastic FckEditor.

Apropos of nothing I like the tinymce editor which is similar to fckeditor, although it's worth cutting all the language files out of it before you install it.

I could never get tinymce to load quickly enough, even following the condencing instructions. Also fck gave me the option to upload images into different directories on the fly using a bit of php and cookies.

For a much simpler editor I also use openwysiwyg, have you tried it?

I've not tried openwysiwyg but fckeditor sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll give that a go next time I need one.
