I can't seem to sort out why my Emails wont be sent in HTML,
everything works fine, yet the Bold tags are actually displaying in the email rather than changing the font to bold.

Is there anything special I need to do?

$emailtext = "
Hello,

Your Details are as follows:
<b>Username:</b> ".$username."
<b>Password:</b> ".$password."
";

:banana2:

What does the header information look like? Is html/text specified?

<head>
<title>Clan Tactics Admin - Register User</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

:roll:

It's not a major important thing, though i'd like to be able to include images etc..

Try setting the content type in the email headers. Here is an exaple :


$to = $email_id;
$subject = "Test mail";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from\r\n";
$emailtext = "
Hello,

Your Details are as follows:
<b>Username:</b> ".$username."
<b>Password:</b> ".$password."
";
mail($to, $subject, $emailtext , $headers);

Any error / warning anything?

change the last line to :

$status = mail($to, $subject, $emailtext , $headers);

if ($status ) {
echo "Mail was sent successfully ";
} else {
echo "Error sending mail";
}

Check whether all arguments of mail function is set.
