Resolved Mail() is not rendering HTML

[TFlan]

I have a page that, after processing massive amounts of user-input, emails a confirmation email to both the user and the system admin.

The email to the system admin renders fine in all the clients I have browsed it in. However the email to the user does not render at all, it is just plain text.

The odd thing is that they both use the exact same headers array...

PHP Code:

$headers = array();
                $headers[0] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
                $headers[1] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
                $headers[2] = 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit';
                $headers[3] = "From: no-reply@****.com";
                $headers[4] = "Bcc: archive@****.com";
                $headers[5] = "Reply-To: no-reply@****.com";
                $headers[6] = "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion(); 


Here is the portion of the code that sends the emails. The only difference is that the email to the user has a "Thank You" amended to the end of the subject line.

PHP Code:

            if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, implode("\r\n", $headers))){
                // Does error catching stuff - irrelevant
            }else{
                mail($email, $subject.' Thank You!', $message, implode("\r\n", $headers));
            } 


This is extremely baffling... I have declared the doctype as HTML in both the email body and in the email header... The first email sent renders fine, the second renders as plain text.


EDIT::

I found the cause behind this. Poorly written email clients...

It's weird. You're only sending the second email IF the first one failed? - If the first call to mail() failed the second one won't succeed anyway.

I'm really not sure how you could even be seeing both emails anyway with that logic.

[TFlan]

You have the if statement backwards - if the mail fails, do this. if not mail again.

There is a '!'

[tangoforce]

Same principle though isn't it. The point is, you're claiming to be having trouble with both yet in reality only one should be getting sent anyway

[TFlan]

No,

X = Mail sent status

PHP Code:

if(!$x){ // if $x == false
    // Error
}else{
    mail(...);
}

Also, if you read the OP, you would know that BOTH ARE being sent, however only one is (was) being rendered as HTML

Ok nevermind. For future reference, it's usually better not to negate the if (). Do the true first and the false after. You're doing the false / error first and the true after. Slightly strange and a bit confusing.
