Questions:
Is there any way to set the priority of PHP mail()? I looked at the online manual but I can’t find any reference to it.
By priority, I mean High, Normal, Low or 1, 2, 3 in the headers. So the recipient knows the urgency of the mail.
Thank you!
How to&Answers:
That’s usually done by setting following fields in the header:
- “X-Priority” (values: 1 to 5- from the highest[1] to lowest[5]),
- “X-MSMail-Priority” (values: High, Normal, or Low),
- “Importance” (values: High, Normal, or Low).
See the following example (taken from php’s mail function documentation):
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "Importance: High\n";
$status = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers);
?>
Answer：
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "Importance: High\n";
$status = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Answer：
Call it with the X-Priority header in the 4th parameter:
mail ( $to, $subject, $message , "X-Priority: 1")

A comment on the PHP mail function documentation said:
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "Importance: High\n";
$status = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers);
Answer：
To define a mail priority you have to put this lines in the headers:
<?php
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "Importance: High\n";
$status = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers);
?>
Answer：
everything didn’t work except this for my problem
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
PS: email body must before the headers.
