    <p>How can I style an e-mail that's sent from a contact form? </p> <p>I'd like to place it into nice tables with some decent styling. My front-end is just a HTML page that the user fills out a form. The form, upon submit, calls this PHP page to send the data. I have all of that portion working perfectly.</p> <p>Now, I'd just like to style how the e-mail looks to the person receiving the e-mail since right now it's all just text &amp; data.</p> <p>My current PHP code is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED $email_to = "email@email.com"; $email_subject = "TEST - NO STYLE JUST DATA- Product Research Request"; function died($error) { // your error code can go here echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo $error."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['ProductMgr']) || !isset($_POST['ProductDesc'])|| !isset($_POST['email'])) { died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $ProductMgr = $_POST['ProductMgr']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $ProductDesc = $_POST['ProductDesc']; // required $ProjLaunchDate = $_POST['ProjLaunchDate']; // required $ProdCat = $_POST['ProdCat']; // required $ProdSubCat = $_POST['ProdSubCat']; // required $SuggVendor = $_POST['SuggVendor']; // required $VPartNum = $_POST['VPartNum']; // required $EstLandCost = $_POST['EstLandCost']; // required $EstRetail = $_POST['EstRetail']; // required $GMPercent = $_POST['GMPercent']; // required $GMDollar = $_POST['GMDollar']; // required $ForeUSales = $_POST['ForeUSales']; // required $ForeDSales = $_POST['ForeDSales']; // required $WholesalePot = $_POST['WholesalePot']; // required $CompProdPrice = $_POST['CompProdPrice']; // required $CompCompany = $_POST['CompCompany']; // required $SampleAvail = $_POST['SampleAvail']; // required $ProdDims = $_POST['ProdDims']; // required $ProdColors = $_POST['ProdColors']; // required $EstProdWeight = $_POST['EstProdWeight']; // required $Features = $_POST['Features']; // required $AMLBenefits = $_POST['AMLBenefits']; // required $ProBenefits = $_POST['ProBenefits']; // required $Restrictions = $_POST['Restrictions']; // required $GKS = $_POST['GKS']; $ProdMgr2 = $_POST['ProdMgr2']; // required $ProdDesc2 = $_POST['ProdDesc2']; // required $PossVend = $_POST['PossVend']; // required $ProjReTime = $_POST['ProjReTime']; // required $EstLandCost2 = $_POST['EstLandCost2']; // required $ProtoExpDate = $_POST['ProtoExpDate']; // required $ProdExpDate = $_POST['ProdExpDate']; // required $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } if(strlen($error_message) &gt; 0) { died($error_message); } $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message .= "Product Manager: ".clean_string($ProductMgr)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Description: ".clean_string($ProductDesc)."\n"; $email_message .= "Projected Launch Date: ".clean_string($ProjLaunchDate)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Category: ".clean_string($ProdCat)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Subcategory: ".clean_string($ProdSubCat)."\n"; $email_message .= "Suggested Vendor: ".clean_string($SuggVendor)."\n"; $email_message .= "Vendor Part Number: ".clean_string($VPartNum)."\n"; $email_message .= "Estimated Landed Cost: ".clean_string($EstLandCost)."\n"; $email_message .= "Estimated Retail: ".clean_string($EstRetail)."\n"; $email_message .= "Gross Margin %: ".clean_string($GMPercent)."\n"; $email_message .= "Gross Margin $: ".clean_string($GMDollar)."\n"; $email_message .= "Forecasted Unit Sales: ".clean_string($ForeUSales)."\n"; $email_message .= "Forecasted Dollar Sales: ".clean_string($ForeDSales)."\n"; $email_message .= "Wholesale Potential: ".clean_string($WholesalePot)."\n"; $email_message .= "Competition Product &amp; Price: ".clean_string($CompProdPrice)."\n"; $email_message .= "Competitor Company: ".clean_string($CompCompany)."\n"; $email_message .= "Sample Available: ".clean_string($SampleAvail)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Dimensions: ".clean_string($ProdDims)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Colors: ".clean_string($ProdColors)."\n"; $email_message .= "Estimated Product Weight: ".clean_string($EstProdWeight)."\n"; $email_message .= "Features: ".clean_string($Features)."\n"; $email_message .= "Benefits to AML: ".clean_string($AMLBenefits)."\n"; $email_message .= "Benefits to Pro Customers: ".clean_string($ProBenefits)."\n"; $email_message .= "Any Restrictions: ".clean_string($Restrictions)."\n"; $email_message .= "GKS Approval To Go: ".clean_string($GKS)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Manager: ".clean_string($ProdMgr2)."\n"; $email_message .= "Product Description: ".clean_string($ProdDesc2)."\n"; $email_message .= "Possible Vendors: ".clean_string($PossVend)."\n"; $email_message .= "Projected Research Time: ".clean_string($ProjReTime)."\n"; $email_message .= "Estimated Landing Cost: ".clean_string($EstLandCost2)."\n"; $email_message .= "Prototypes Expected Date: ".clean_string($ProtoExpDate)."\n"; $email_message .= "Production Expected Date: ".clean_string($ProdExpDate)."\n"; // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".

    1. CODepends how you want it to look. You need to add a mime-type header to the email though, to send it as HTML. Then you can do anything you want to it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
