Send errors message via email using error_log()

The php function error_log() let you send logs to email setting the second param to 1. I do that, but i want to dispay message in html. The code looks like this:

error_log($this->_errorMsg, 1, ADMIN_MAIL, "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8\r\nFrom: ".MAIL_ERR_FROM."\r\nTo: ".ADMIN_MAIL);

Probably i mess something declaring the content type, because i get msg in plain text:

<h1>Website Error</h1>
<b>ERRNO:</b><font color='red'>1</font>
...

I just imaged your mailbox after one error in page with many requests. You don't want to do this. – Lail 13/10, 2010 at 17:4

@Pekka: error_log() is a native PHP function. php.net/manual/en/function.error-log.php – Joslyn 13/10, 2010 at 17:11

Try to set up your headers like so:

$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

note the content-type and mime headers at the end.

error_log("MESSAGE", 1,"[email protected]","From: [email protected]");

You should read the comments in the PHP reference for error_log, one of the first ones contains an example :

error_log("<html><h2>stuff</h2></html>",1,"[email protected]","subject  :lunch\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
