Sending email from form - can't get html though

Heya, Jason.

To send an HTML Email, you need to set a couple of headers.

Check out this example.

Thanks for the link. I inserted the code for the header and still no luck.
Could it be a php security thing?

here us the code i am using:

[PHP]
$cancelSubmissi on = false;
if(!isset($_POS T['formName'])){exit('Error: no form name found!');}
//if(!isset($_POS T['submit'])) {exit('Error: submit was not pushed!');}

//This value defines the subject
$strSubject = "Message from the website - form: " . $_POST['formName'];

//This value defines the sender and receiver email addresses
$strSender = "" //where the email is from (probaly don't need this, it's automaticly generated by the server)
$strReceiver = "" //my email address

//This value defines the re-direction of the browser after submission
$strRedirectURL = 'acknowledgemen t.htm';

//This value defines body of the email

//a bunch of code that cleans up the form data for the client
//it creates the muli-dimentional array used below

//Create table with titles for each section
$strMessage = "<HTML><HEAD><T ITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";

if($fArrayMulti[0][1] == "general_es t" ){

//a bunch of code that makes the table
}
//Check to make sure email is not garbage
if(($fArrayMult i[$part[0]][1] == ' ' || $fArrayMulti[$part[0]][1] == '') && ($fArrayMulti[$part[0]+2][1] == ' ' || $fArrayMulti[$part[0]+2][1] == '')){
$cancelSubmissi on = true;
}

//Compile mail and send it

//if(cancelSubmis sion != true){
//add header
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

if(mail($strRec eiver, $strSubject, $strMessage, $header)){
echo "Mail Sent.";
}else{
echo "Error sending email! Message not sent!";
}

//JS_redirect( $strRedirectURL );

//}else{
//JS_redirect("../../home.htm");
//print("Submissi on canceled");
//}[/PHP]

Heya, Jason.

When you send the mail, you use $header instead of $headers. Is this intentional?

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
