I need to send html email to the emails i collect from Textboxes. my code is a follows.
I am having following problems.

[LIST=1]
[]The email is not sent in HTML format.
[]The “[COLOR=darkred]from[/COLOR]” address on the recievers email client appears as " [COLOR=darkred]senders[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]email [/COLOR][COLOR=darkred]address@mycurrent[/COLOR][COLOR=darkred] webhost account[/COLOR]". I want it to only show the senders email address.
[/LIST]my code is a follows.

<?php

  for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) 
  {
  $name = $_POST['n'.$i];  
  $to = $_POST['e'.$i];
  $sname=$_POST['sname'];
  $semail=$_POST['semail'];
  $msg=$_POST['message'];
  $card=$_POST['cardname'];
  $today=time();
  $time= ($today + $i);
  if($to == ''){echo "";}else{
   
 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
 $headers =  "From:" .$semail;
 $subject = $sname . "has sent you an ecard from www.bestwishes.com.np ";
 $message = "Dear " .$name . ", You have recieved an ecard from" .$sname." <\br>
In order to pick your greeting, please click on the following link: <a href ='www.bestwishes.com.np/pickup.php?action=view&personalize=".$time."'>www.bestwishes.com.np/pickup.php?action=view&personalize=".$time."</a> </br>
 If the above link doesnot work, Try visiting <a href= 'www.bestwishes.com.np'>http://www.bestwishes.com.np</a> and insert your card id ".$time. " and click on Pick Up Button 
 Best Regards 
 www.bestwishes.com.np" ;//*/
 if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers ))
 {
  echo "Dear ".$sname.",</br> 
 Your card has been sent to ".$email."
</br> With following Personalized no. " .$time. "
</br>";
 }
 else
 {
  echo "Mail could not be sent to specified Email Address";
 }
//$today=time();
//echo $today;
  }//else {echo "";}
  }
  
 ?>

Please make the required modifications for me…

[COLOR=red]*Note[/COLOR] [SIZE=1]: $name = recievers name, $to = recievers email, sname=senders name, semail= senders email[/SIZE]

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
$headers .=  "From:" .$semail;

You didn’t concatenate the last line of your $headers variable.

Sure always happy to help man !! Well my code might not be upto the mark . And HTML might be just too long. But if it helps any other user like me, I’ll be more than happy.

<?php
  for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) 
  {
  $name = $_POST['n'.$i];  
  $to = $_POST['e'.$i];
  $sname=$_POST['sname'];
  $semail=$_POST['semail'];
  $msg=$_POST['message'];
  $card=$_POST['cardname'];
  $today=time();
  $time= ($today + $i);
  if($to == ''){echo "";}else{
  //$personalize=random_string('unique', 10);
  // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
";
 $headers .= "From: $semail

 $subject = $sname . "has sent you an ecard from www.bestwishes.com.np ";

Basically the problem was with php variables inside the html tags in message body. and one of course was $headers concatenation.

Enjoy!!!
