Php mail: how to send html?

The code below is sending an email correctly but for the body. I need to show html in the body of the message and I cannot make it. The examples in the web won't send the email :(

How can I fix my code to send the email with the html in the body?

Thanks a ton!

<?php

$to = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'I need to show html'; 

$from ='[email protected]'; 

$body = '<p style=color:red;>This text should be red</p>';

ini_set("sendmail_from", $from);

$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\nReply-To: " . $from . "";
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; 
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {

  echo("<p>Sent</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Error...</p>");
 }

?>

Solution 1:

use this header for the mail:

 $header  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
 $header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset: utf8\r\n";

and for the content/body:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
... ... ...

it's important to use inline css commands and recommanded to use tables for the interface.

...

In your Mail-Body you than have to put HTML code with head and body

Solution 2:

Have you looked at the headers of the incoming mail? It says

Reply-To: [email protected]: text/html

Simply add another \r\n here:

Reply-To: " . $from . "\r\n";

Solution 3:

I recommend rather than messing around with doing this yourself you use one of the many free classes available all over the web to do it.

I would recommend: PHPMailer
