sending html email w/ PHP

[striker]

hey guys
I'm making a newsletter form for a client using PHP. I can do all the code with setting up the email with the addresses, but what is the best way for me to send an html or image or something instead of having it just send text within a variable.

thanks

I guess make the variable contain the html for the layout you want to show.

an attachment. like normal emails. only thing is - i don't know how to do this programmatically, but i'm sure it can be done.

or maybe even a way to send a picture , if an html is not possible

check out php mailer for an option where you won't have to write your own mail class that supports html:
