PHP mail script html formatting

Question

someone kindly posted this code for me but it only returns "/table" in the resulting email - any ideas? Does it need a closing html tag?

$mailHeader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$formcontent ="<table border='1'>";
foreach ($_POST as $field=>$value)
{
$formcontent.="<tr>";
$formcontent .= "<td>$field:</td> <td>$value</td>";
$formcontent.="</tr>";
}
$formcontent .= '<tr><td>User-Agent: </td><td>'.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].'</td>';
$formcontent ="</table>";

Don't build your own mime emails. It's tricky and very easy to screw up. Using PHPMailer or Swiftmailer, both of which make it a trivial process. — Marc B

The final line is currently:

$formcontent ="</table>";

It should be:

$formcontent .="</table>";

Without the dot, it's overwriting the content, rather than concatenating.

You're welcome - it's one of those things that's obvious when you know it's there. A fresh pair of eyes helps no end!
