I have set up an online form that when submited send the form in an email, I would like the questions in the output to be bolded. Is there a way that I can get these bolded?
Here is a copy of my php file: http://pastebin.com/eB9E4BLb
as an example the email I receive looks like:
Minecraft Username: Answer 1
Valid Email Address: Answer 2
I would like it to look like:
Minecraft Username: Answer 1
Valid Email Address: Answer 2
thanks,
echo ‘Minecraft Username:’; " . $_POST[‘field_1’] ."
Thank you for your help, but after using the code you suggested, this is what the email now looks like:
echo ‘Minecraft Username:’; Answer 1
It just seems to include the code instead of using it to change the output.
I don’t know if this is related but it also seems after using your code that a few of the output lines are purple instead of black, I only added your code to the first line as a test, but lines that I never added code to, are now purple in the output.
thanks,
You need to change the headers some so it knows that you’re sending out html email instead of plain text. Here’s a good tutorial on how do it and answers your question - http://css-tricks.com/sending-nice-html-email-with-php/
[php]
session_start());
$where_form_is=“http://”.$_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]),"/"));
if( ($_SESSION[‘security_code’]==$_POST[‘security_code’]) && (!empty($_POST[‘security_code’])) ) {
$headers = “From: [email protected]\r\n”; //change
$headers .= “MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n”;
$headers .= “Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n”;
$message = "

Thanks for the help,
I tried the code that you provided, but it didn’t work, It also removed the confirmation page that the form had been submitted. I took a look at the link that you provided but I was unable to understand how to get it to work with the security validation.
thanks,
What i posted shouldn’t have interferred with that unless you put it in the wrong place.
[php]
I tried the code but now I am getting the following error when submitting the form
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /home/caveexplorer/caveexplorer.net/form/processor.php on line 27”
thanks,
I tried removing the “)” on line 27, which did fix the error, but I am not receiving any emails, I double checked the email address in the code and it is the correct email address.
thanks,
line 27 is the $message bit? if taking the ) off at the end didn’t fix it, then there’s something else going on. please post something updated code so this can figured out.
I found the problem, I had stupidly re-named the php file, and miss-spelled the file.
Thanks again for all your help, it works perfectly now.
