RE: [PHP] Cannot send a hyperlink

Explanation of code

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
(generated by dreamweaver that pulls in the database functions)

$message = '<a href="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';
(my nemesis, I can not figure out this puppy. If it works at all, php will
generate it at text and not html. Taken from example I find on the web.)

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
(found on the web to solve my html problem???)

mail( $email, "Your FREE book from Zone of Success Club .com", $headers,
$message, "From: $email" ); ?>
(Send the mail, when I put $headers in, the function quits working all
together.)

I hope this helps explain where my head is!

Brad

Just another can of worms.
The $_REQUEST is tied into a whole bunch of database functions.

I have no idea what you mean by this. It makes no sense to me.

My present code....


<?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = '<a href="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail( $email, "Your FREE book from Zone of Success Club .com",
$headers, $message, "From: $email" );
?>

You *really* need to read the manual page for function before you use
them. For example a quick glance at http://php.net/function.mail reveals
that you have the parameters in an almost completely wrong order.

And please tell me you're not really setting the to address directly
from an external variable with verifying that it's just an email address
and nothing else. Really bad idea.

I am having trouble send an email with a hyperlink

Php is parsing html as text????

If I add the proper header information to ?make it work? The email no
longer
goes through?



Here is the code



<?

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$body = '<a href="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

mail( $email, "Your FREE book from Zone of Success Club .com",

$headers, $message, "From: $email" );

?>



Thanks

Brad
