How to format a confirmation e-mail in DWCS3?

Report · Feb 10, 2010

Hello,

I'm building a site in which the user has to enter personal information, upload that information into a MySQL DB, and at the end send a conformation e-mail to the user.

So far things are working properly, but I'm still unable to make the system to send the confirmation e-mail in HTML format. My code is as follows:

<?php

$id = $row_rsMision2010['ID'];

$Nombre = $row_rsMision2010['Nombre'];

$Apellido = $row_rsMision2010['Apellido1'];

$Agencia = $row_rsMision2010['Agencia'];

$Direccion = $row_rsMision2010['Direccion'];

$Colonia = $row_rsMision2010['Colonia'];

$Ciudad = $row_rsMision2010['Ciudad'];

$Estado = $row_rsMision2010['Estado'];

$CP = $row_rsMision2010['CP'];

$Lada = $row_rsMision2010['Lada'];

$Telefono = $row_rsMision2010['Telefono'];

$Puesto = $row_rsMision2010['Puesto'];

$Reserva = $row_rsMision2010['Reserva'];

$to = $row_rsMision2010['Mail'];

$subject = "Codigo de Reservacion Registro La Mision 2010 Las Vegas Evolution";

$headers = "De: Oficina de Turismo de Las Vegas para Mexico y Centroamerica" .

"MIME-Version: 1.0rn" .

"Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8";

$body = "<html><body>" .

"<h2>Su registro ha sido exitosamente recibido en nuestro sistema.<h2/>" .

"Sus datos registrados son los siguientes:" .

"Nombre: '$Nombre'" .

"Apellidos: '$Apellido'" .

"Agencia: '$Agencia'" .

"Dirección: '$Dirección'" .

"Colonia: '$Colonia'" .

"Ciudad: '$Ciudad'" .

"Estado: '$Estado'" .

"C.P.: '$CP'" .

"Teléfono: '$Lada' - '$Telefono'" .

"Puesto: '$Puesto'" .

"Su Código único e intransferible de admisión es: '$Reserva'" .

"¡No olvide imprimirlo y mostrarlo junto con su identificación oficial a su llegada al evento!" .

"</body></html>";

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

?>

As far as I understand, I might be mistyping something, or having a syntax error while defining the $body variable.

Could someone help me out and check what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your support in advance.

Each header needs to be on a separate line. You have simply concatenated them together as a single string.

$headers = "De: Oficina de Turismo de Las Vegas para Mexico y Centroamerica" .
 "MIME-Version: 1.0rn" .
 "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8";

This should be:

$headers = "From: Oficina de Turismo de Las Vegas para Mexico y Centroamerica\r\n" .
 "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" .
 "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8";
