How to inset html styling into PHP return email

Question

Right now I'm storing all my info into a variable

$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "<b>Name:</b>" . $name . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "E-mail:" . $email . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Phone Number:" . $phnum . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message:" . $message . "\n";

$messageSend = $email_body;

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

How do I add in html like <br/>, <b> tag and css?

thanks I will refer from there – Vincent Chua Aug 06 '13 at 06:43 — Vincent Chua, Aug 06 '13 at 06:43

Append to headers Content-Type like

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

And append message <html><body> and </body></html> like

$email_body = '<html><body>';
$email_body .= "<b>Name:</b>" . $name . "\n";
$email_body .= "<b>E-mail:</b>" . $email . "\n";
$email_body .= "<b>Phone Number:</b>" . $phnum . "\n";
$email_body .= "<b>Message:</b>" . $message . "\n";
$email_body .= '</body></html>';

"\n" does not work in html use "paragraph" tag like this

$email_body = "<html><body>";
$email_body .= "<b>Name:</b>" . $name . "<p>";
$email_body .= "<b>E-mail:</b>" . $email . "<p>";
$email_body .= "<b>Phone Number:</b>" . $phnum . "<p>";
$email_body .= "<b>Message:</b>" . $message . "<p>";
$email_body .= "</body></html>";
