Are there alternative methods or libraries recommended for sending HTML emails with PHP?

Sending HTML emails with PHP can be done using the built-in `mail()` function, but it can be quite limited and may not handle HTML content correctly. An alternative method is to use a library like PHPMailer or Swift Mailer, which provide more features and better support for sending HTML emails. 

// Using PHPMailer library to send HTML emails
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/SMTP.php';
require 'PHPMailer/Exception.php';

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

// Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer();

// Set up the email parameters
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Subject of the email';
$mail->Body = '<h1>This is the HTML content of the email</h1>';
$mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');

// Send the email
if ($mail->send()) {
    echo 'Email sent successfully';
} else {
    echo 'Email could not be sent';
}
