Formatting within the email function

[Haraldo]

My trouble is and has been for a while since i've never taken the time to work it out is how to properly format an email response. Using a table below allows me to format it and this works however it leaves a great deal of white space above the sent information. Why does it leave this vast gap? How do i clear this white space?

Here is the most important part of the code:

$subject = 'Web Site Enquiry';
$mailContent = &quot;<table width =\&quot;100%\&quot; height=\&quot;100%\&quot;><tr><td width=\&quot;50%\&quot;><b>Business Name:</b> <i>$businessName</i></td><td width=\&quot;50%\&quot;><b>Home Name:</b> <i>$name</i></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Business Address:</b> <br><i>$businessAddress</i></td><td><b>Home Address:</b> <br><i>$homeAddress</i></td></tr>
<tr><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Telephone:</b><i>$businessTelephone</i><br><b>Fax:</b><i>$businessFax</i></td><td><b>Telephone:</b><i>$homeTelephone</i><br><b>Fax:</b><i>$homeFax</i></td></tr>
<tr><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Mobile:</b> <br><i>$mobile</i></td><td><b>Email:</b> <br><i>$email</i></td></tr>
<tr><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=\&quot;2\&quot;><b>What is the finance for?</b> <br><i>$financeFor</i></td></tr>
<tr><td><br></td><td><br></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=\&quot;2\&quot;><b>What is the type, amount and period for which finance is required?</b><br><i>$financeRequired</i></td></tr>
</table>&quot;;

mail($myemail, $subject, $mailContent, $header);


Thanks for any help,

There's more to it than just sending HTML. You have to use MIME encoding, etc.

Don't make yourself crazy. Take a look at PHPMailer:
