For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Emailing as HTML (Web Page) - PHP example

If you want to send an email as HTML, you can do so by adding a content-type header.

<?php
 
$content = <<< EMC
<h1>Hello World</h1>an HTML email
Shwoing how the content can be sent
as a web page.
EMC;
 
$extras = "From: Graham Ellis \n";
$extras .= "Reply-to: Graham Ellis \n";
mail("graham@sheepbingo.co.uk","Web page in HTML Demo (control)",
$content,$extras);
 
$extras .= "Content-type: text/html\n";
mail("graham@sheepbingo.co.uk","Web page in HTML Demo (working)",
$content,$extras);
 
?>


Without the extra line, the email views like so:



But with it, I got



A whole host of extra considerations here - you might light to look at multipart emails (the sort that use several types in the same transmission - giving users the option of viewing as plain text - example). You need to consider how your recipients spam filters differently handle HTML to plain text emails, and indeed whether what you're sending is really necessary or could be considered to be spam.

Edit / note added - It's been pointed out to me that I mis-spelled the word "showing" and then compounded the problem by putting up a screen capture with the word mis-spelt. I'm allowing myself to take the view that showing a typing error in both the source and the resut isn't ENTIRELY bad as it confirms that the screen capture really are the result of my sources!

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
