如何自定义从php mail（）脚本发送的电子邮件的方式

Question

So I can't seem to word the question right - but I would like to know how would you go about changing the way this

$Body = "";
$Body .=   "Name: ";  
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "
";
$Body .= "City: ";
$Body .= $City;
$Body .= "
";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "
";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "
";

looks when it reaches my e-mail. When I receive the e-mail (using it as a contact form), I get this ->

Name: lloan
City: SomeCity
Email: [e-mail]
Message: Testing

I tried <strong> $Body .= "Name: ";</strong> and that didn't work - I also tried it as $Body .= "<strong> Name: </strong>"; and again, nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I really want to learn how to do this - I've googled it a couple of times, but I think it's the way I'm wording my question that's not helping me.

EDIT: So I'm able to do this now - $Body .= "<strong>Name: </strong>"; using the suggestions below of adding the headers and then adding that to the mail() function - however, how do I go about using it on a bigger scale? For example - What if I want to have a colored background or what not - Am I also able to use CSS in this kind of situation? The other questions on SO do not answer this in it's entirety.

Answer 1

Here's how:

$to = '[e-mail]';

$subject = 'Your email subject';

$headers = "From: [e-mail] 
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: [e-mail] 
";
$headers .= "CC: [e-mail]
";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
";

$message = 'Put your html message here<br>';
$message .= "<b>HTML feature is now enabled</b><br>";
$message .= "<table border="1"><tr><td>Hello</td><td>World</td></tr></table>";
$message .= "For the styling, you can use inline styling:<Br>";
$message .= "<span style='color:#FF0000;'>This is red color</span>";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,$parameters);

The most important part to answer your question is this line:

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
";

That tells the system to produce the email using the HTML format.

Hope this helps
