Hey guys,

i m trying to send an order confirmation email to the customer along with the items ordered.
here is the php code.
$to = "$email";

$from = "admin@peshawarirestaurant.co.cc";
$subject = "Your Booking Information";
//The Actual HTML Email Message to the customer

$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
Hi $firstname,\n\nThank you for Booking at peshawarirestaurant.co.cc!\n\n
This email contains your Food order information. 
For Your Booking No:$bookingno!
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width= '500' align='center' >
<tr>
<th align=\"left\" >Item</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th > Quantitity </th>
<th align=\"right\"> Sub Total</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=\"left\"> $name </td>
<td align=\"center\"> $price </td>
<td align=\"enter\">$quantity </td>
<td align=\"enter\">£ $sub_total </td>
</tr>
<td ></td >
<td ></td >
<td > Total =</td>
<td align=\"center\"> £ $total </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

$headers = "From: peshawarirestaurant.co.cc";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

when the email is sent its just text with all the tages . No table is created.
Any body can help please.

regards

Does the mail client your testing it with support html email? That looks correct to me. You might want to try removing the table and send a simple html message first like RED, with the html, head, body tags.

you are reasigning the the $headers variable rather than appending to it. Try changing this
$headers = "From: peshawarirestaurant.co.cc";
to

$headers .= "From: peshawarirestaurant.co.cc";
