    How can I add HTML formating to 'Swift Mail tutorial' based PHP email?
    Hello,

    I have developed a competition page for a client, and they wish for the email the customer receives be more than simply text. The tutorial I used only provided simple text, within the 'send body message'. I am required to add html to introduce images to this email.

    The code is:

    Code:

    //send the welcome letter
    function send_email($info){
                   
            //format each email
            $body = format_email($info,'html');
            $body_plain_txt = format_email($info,'txt');

            //setup the mailer
            $transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
            $mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
            $message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
            $message ->setSubject('Thanks for entering the competition');
            $message ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'FromEmailExample'));
            $message ->setTo(array($info['email'] => $info['name']));
           
            $message ->setBody('Thanks for entering the competition, we will be in touch if you are a lucky winner.');

            $result = $mailer->send($message);
           
            return $result;
           
    }

    This function.php sheet is working and the customer is receiving their email OK, I just need to change the

    Quote:

    ('Thanks for entering the competition, we will be in touch if you are a lucky winner.')
    To have HTML instead...

    Please, if you can, provide me with an example of how I can integrate HTML into this function.

    Cheers in advance. :-)

    $message ->setFrom(array('[email protected]' => 'FromEmailExample'));
    $message ->setTo(array($info['email'] => $info['name']));

    $body_message = "<table><img src=\"http://www.example.com/img/email-thanks.jpg\" alt=\"Thanks for entering the, Good Luck!\"></table>";
    $message ->setBody($body_message, 'text/html');

    $result = $mailer->send($message);

    return $result;

    }
