How can i make a part of the body bold or different font

[planketa]

guys

here's my script in sending email

Code: Select all

$body = "Name: {$_POST['name']} \n\n ID NUMBER: {$_POST['idnum']}";
      
mail ("receiver", "Title",$body, "From: email ");

How can i make the text Name: and ID NUMBER: bold or have a different font? I tried using <b> but it doesnt work.

thanks.

That just works with HTML emails.
You need to send the proper Content-type for this email type (Content-type: text/html).

Im sorry but there isn't.
You NEED to make it a HTML email to make something bold.
Otherwise it willbe plain text and you CANT do it..

thunderbird mail client renders *keyword* as *keyword*
and _underline_ as _underline_

however its only Thunderbird
All other clients and webmails will require you using a html email
