SENDING HTML AND PLAIN TEXT MAILS IN PHP

How to Send HTML and Plain Text Emails in PHP


We can send HTML emails through PHP,  But the major issue we need to take care is some of the mail clients doesn't support HTML mails, some times they display our  HTML message as HTML coding instead of design, to solve from the issue we need to add a text version of the message along with our email.

In the below code, I added both HTML and plain text message formats, if the client's Mail client is not supported HTML Emails, it automatically displays the plain text version, Normally major mail clients supports HTML message, but some others not.

HTML Code (FORM) - contact.html


 <form method="post" name="frmCheckout"  action="post.php">
