      </body>
      </html>';
      ?>[/php]
      with:

      [PHP]

      $message = "<html>";
      $message .= "<head>";
      .
      .
      .
      $message .= "<a href=\"http://www.website.com/confirm.php?c=$ confirmationCod e\">";
      $message .= "http://www.website.com/confirm.php?c=$ confirmationCod e</a><br />";
      .
      ...........etc
      [/PHP]

      But I don't think you need all this tags <html> <title> <head> <body>to send HTML email. You are best keeping your HTML mails as simple as possible.

              Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

              This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

              Please use [code] tags in future.

                  Hi Pavani,


                  Your problem is in the following line:

                  [PHP]

                  $headers = "From: $from";

                  [/PHP]

                  Basically you are replacing all the other info, ie mime, content type etc with FROM: $from instead of appending to it.

                  The correct way to do it is:

                  [PHP]

                  $headers .= "From: $from"; //notice the .=

                  [/PHP]


                  Regards
