Email

I currently am using dreamweaver and use php to mail myself new work applications from the website. I would like to put it in tables and that sent to me instead of the "blah" format I have now.

Here is what I use:

<?

$to = ";
$subject = "Work Application for $pos";
$msg = "Name: $name Social: $ssn\n\n";
$msg .= "Addresss: $address\n\n";
$msg .= "Phone: $phone Email: $email\n\n";
$msg .= "Referred by: $referred\n\n";
$msg .= "$ofAge\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Availability\n\n";
$msg .= "Day shifts: $monday $tueday $wedday $thuday $friday $satday $sunday\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Night Shifts: $monnight $tuenight $wednight $thunight $frinight $satnight $sunnight\n\n";
$msg .= "Employment Information\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Posistion: $pos Salary Desired: $salary Start Date: $startdate\n\n";
$msg .= "Employed now? $empnowyn $empnow\n\n";
$msg .= "Applied before? $empbefyn Date: $empbef\n\n";
$msg .= "I $felconyn been convicted of a felony.\n\n";
$msg .= "$felcon\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Education Information";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "High school: $hs Yrs. Attended: $hsatt. Grad? $hsgr Studies: $hssub \n\n";
$msg .= "College: $col Yrs. Attended: $colatt. Grad? $colgr Studies: $colsub\n\n";
$msg .= "Trade school: $ts Yrs. Attended $tsatt. Grad? $tsgr Studies: $tssub\n\n";
$msg .= "Special Studies: $special\n\n";
$msg .= "Military Service: $service\n\n";
$msg .= "Activities: $Activities\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Employment History";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Job 1: $job1who Dates: $job1from-$job1to\n\n";
$msg .= "Salary: $job1sal Posistion: $job1pos\n\n";
$msg .= "RFL: $job1leave\n\n";
$msg .= "Job 2: $job2who Dates: $job2from-$job2to\n\n";
$msg .= "Salary: $job2sal Posistion: $job2pos\n\n";
$msg .= "RFL: $job2leave\n\n";
$msg .= "Job 3: $job3who Dates: $job3from-$job3to\n\n";
$msg .= "Salary: $job3sal Posistion: $job3pos\n\n";
$msg .= "RFL: $job3leave\n\n";
$msg .= "Job 4: $job4who Dates: $job4from-$job4to\n\n";
$msg .= "Salary: $job4sal Posistion: $job4pos\n\n";
$msg .= "RFL: $job4leave\n\n";
$msg .= "\n\n";
$msg .= "Questions/Comments?\n\n";
$msg .= "$comment\n\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From: My web site\nReply-To: $email\n");
?>

I would like to streamling this and make it more appeasing to the eye as the text is tough to look at.

Any Suggestions?

/* recipients */
$to = "Mary <mary@example.com>" . ", " ; // note the comma
$to .= "Kelly <kelly@example.com>";

/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";

/* message */
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
';

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

/* additional headers */
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>\r\n";

$headers .= "Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com\r\n";

/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

i believe that should work fine...

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