Adding text formatting

[sphinx]

Hi there,

 

This doesn't seem to echo as attempted, is their a way of doing this?

 

	$body2 = "Hello $name, \n <strong>I want to make this paragraph bold!</strong>\n";

 

Displays as:

 

Hello John Smith,
<strong>I want to make this paragraph bold!</strong>

 

I want to format the text making it bold, but it displays the <strong> tags.

 

Thanks

What happens to that variable between there and where you echo it?

Thanks for your reply, it's actually echoed as an email 'donotreply' confirmation email:

 

mail($confirmation, $consubject, $body2,$headers2);

What headers are you sending your email with.

My guess is you are sending a plain/text email.

Aha, most likely 

 

                $fromnoreply = 'donotreply@website.co.uk';
	$headers2 = "From: $fromnoreply \r\n";
	$headers2 .= "";

Chuck in a few more headers like

$headers2 . = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers2 .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

 

And dont forget \n in a text/html content-type will do nothing (visibly speaking).

Switch them to break tags.

ThAnK You!
