php - Format email like a form

Question

I have set up an online order form and have the form output emailed to my wife's inbox. However, currently all values come out in a list format that is hard for her to follow.

The following is an order from our Web Order Form:

            Name: 
         Address: 
           Phone: 
           Email: 
     Book Number: 
    Page Number1: 
 Product Number1: 
        Product1: 
            QTY1: 
     Unit Price1: 
    Total Price1: 
    Page Number2: 
 Product Number2: 
        Product2: 
            QTY2: 
     Unit Price2: 
    Total Price2: 
    Page Number3: 
 Product Number3: 
        Product3: 
            QTY3: 
     Unit Price3: 
    Total Price3:

I want to format the email to look similar to the input form on the website. I have been trying to reverse engineer other people's examples with no luck. I would include snapshot of the form but my reputation isn't high enough. Essentially it is a table containing form fields corresponding to the data I need to collect (think order form). Below is a sample of the PHP code it is submitted to.

<?php 
 $from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ; 
 $to = "myemailaddress@gmail.com";
 $name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ; 
 $headers = "From: $from"; 
 $subject = "Online Order Submission"; 

 $fields = array(); 
 $fields{"Name"} = "Name"; 
 $fields{"Address"} = "Address"; 
 $fields{"Phone"} = "Phone"; 
 $fields{"Email"} = "Email"; 
 $fields{"Item1Page"} = "Page Number1"; 
 $fields{"Number1"} = "Product Number1"; 
 $fields{"Product1"} = "Product1"; 
 $fields{"QTY1"} = "QTY1";
 $fields{"Uprice1"} = "Unit Price1"; 
 $fields{"Tprice1"} = "Total Price1"; 
 $fields{"Item2Page"} = "Page Number2"; 
 $fields{"Number2"} = "Product Number2"; 
 $fields{"Product2"} = "Product2"; 
 $fields{"QTY2"} = "QTY2";
 $fields{"Uprice2"} = "Unit Price2"; 
 $fields{"Tprice2"} = "Total Price2"; 

// Variables removed for clarity 

 $fields{"Item11Page"} = "Page Number11"; 
 $fields{"Number11"} = "Product Number11"; 
 $fields{"Product11"} = "Product11"; 
 $fields{"QTY11"} = "QTY11";
 $fields{"Uprice11"} = "Unit Price11"; 
 $fields{"Tprice11"} = "Total Price11"; 

 $body = "The following is an order from our Web Order Form:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){    
 $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); } 

 $headers2 = "From: myemailaddress@gmail.com"; 
 $subject2 = "Thank you for your order"; 
 $autoreply = "Thank you for your order. We will contact you when your order is ready for delivery.";

 if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";} 
 else { 
 if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";} 
 else { 
 $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); 
 $send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2); 
 if($send) 
 {header( "Location: http://www.website.com/thankyou.html" );} 
 else 
 {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please try again later."; } 
 }
}
 ?>

Any help would be appreciated

UPDATE

I have tried a number of the below mentioned references and ammendments. The current edit looks like this:

<?php 
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ; 
$to = "myemailaddress@live.com";
$Name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ; 
$headers = "From: $from"; 
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$subject = "Order Submission TEST"; 
$message = "<html><body><br><br>The following is an order from our TEST Order Form<br><br><br>";
$message .= "<table>";
$message .= "<tr><td>Name: </td><td>" . strip_tags($_POST['Name']) . "</td></tr>";

$headers2 = "From: myemailaddress@live.com "; 
$subject2 = "Thank you for your order ";

$send = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); 
$send2 = mail($from,$subject2,$autoreply,$headers2); 
if($send) 
{header( "Location: thankyou.html" );} 
else 
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please try again later."; } 
?>

I have borrowed a number of ideas and this incarnation has removed the array in favour of directly injecting the variables into the table. The $send2 line works fine since the "Thank you for your order" email is received and the redirect to thankyou.html works also. However, the email with the order is not received.

您可以在电子邮件中放置 HTML 标签，前提是您在其中包含一些标题。这可以让您将表格放入电子邮件中。看这里

您需要使用 HTML标记您的电子邮件正文。

由于这是一封电子邮件，我建议您使用<table>s来构建表单。

我看到您正在访问 php 数组，例如$fields{"Name"}. 把它转换成$fields['name']你在上面所做的。使用小写键名是为了提高可读性，'而不是"为了提高性能。您可以在此处阅读有关此内容的更多信息。

关于结构，请参阅此示例（样式属性是内联样式的示例）：

<html>
<body>
<table width="600" style="border:1px solid #333">
  <tr>
    <td align="center"><!-- head --></td>
  </tr>
  <Tr>
    <td align="center">
      <!-- email body -->

      <table align="center" width="300" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border:1px solid #ccc;">
        <tr>
          <td><!-- key --></td>
          <td><!-- value --></td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

注意：仅在电子邮件 html 中使用内联样式，因为大多数电子邮件阅读器无法正确解析外部 css。在此处和此处阅读有关电子邮件和表格的更多信息。

对于发送电子邮件，我建议您开始使用SwiftMailer。它是一个 PHP 邮件类，使使用 php 发送邮件变得容易，并为附件等提供了方便的功能。要实现它，您需要一些高级知识，但文档会帮助您。

祝你好运！

如果您需要使标签右对齐，那么您可以在生成消息正文时使用 PHP 填充您的字符串。

遍历你的变量，并使用str_pad函数：

<?php
foreach ($orderDetails as $key => $value) {
    $body.= str_pad($key, 20) . ': ' . $value;
}

您仍然可以以纯文本形式发送电子邮件，而不必求助于 HTML。
