Include html in email

Question

I need to include some HTML things in PHP, for example to add link in a message like this:

Answer 1

This is very basic: mail()

Set the correct headers (from php.net)

// 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";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

your $message may now contain HTML. For complex html/emails, it's advisable to look at some packages such as the PEAR Mailer class for instance.
