PHP mail html format not working

You've re-set your headers:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n"."X-Mailer: php";

You're missing a dot in that last line, which is over-writing the previous two:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: [email protected]\r\n"."X-Mailer: php";

Look at this example, this is sufficient to send mail in php:

<?php 
    //change this to your email. 
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $from = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Hello! This is HTML email";

    //begin of HTML message 
    $message ="
<html> 
  <body> 
    <p style=\"text-align:center;height:100px;background-color:#abc;border:1px solid #456;border-radius:3px;padding:10px;\">
        <b>I am receiving HTML email</b>
        <br/><br/><br/><a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:#246;\" href=\"www.example.com\">example</a>
    </p>
    <br/><br/>Now you Can send HTML Email
  </body>
</html>";
   //end of message 
    $headers  = "From: $from\r\n"; 
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

    //options to send to cc+bcc 
    //$headers .= "Cc: [email][email protected][/email]"; 
    //$headers .= "Bcc: [email][email protected][/email]"; 

    // now lets send the email. 
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 

    echo "Message has been sent....!"; 
?>

I found the same problem with a specific mail server, in my case the solution was to set "\n" instead of "\r\n" as the end of line for the headers.
