I assume you know all other things, Use this headers in email for html email $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; then you can write html email

$htmlMessage="Your styled message"; mail($to,$subject,$htmlMessage,$headers); But be careful, gmail don't show images due to security reasons. and so html codes may not run and sometimes gmail (others too) may send your email to spam if headers are not correct.

To use HTML markup in your email, you need to include an additional header in the mail function:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Or, even better, use a library like PHPMailer. That way, you just need to tell it this message is HTML and it will take care of the headers for you.

Edit: forgot to mention, different email clients have very varied CSS support. In general, you should keep the styling to a minimum, test everything in various mail clients, read the helpful articles of people who have already tried... and accept the fact that some mail clients are just a nightmare.

Try this..

$message = "<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8' />
<title>Something</title>
</head>
<body>";

$message .="
    Name : $name <br />
    PHONE : $phone $domain<br />
    Company : $company<br />
    Comments/Questions:<br />
    <hr /><br />

</body>
</html>";
