RE: [PHP] using ahref tag in $msg variable

If you want to use HTML tags in your email you can add to $mailheaders .= "Content-type: text/html\n"; -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Jason Wong [mailto:php-general@gremlins.com.hk] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 12:46 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] using ahref tag in $msg variable On Tuesday 12 March 2002 02:12, Claudia Smith wrote: > I would like to know how to code my mail msg to accept an <a href> tag > > my current code is: > > $msg = "$username wants you to check out \"The AdVentures of AdWoman: > AdWoman's Dilemma.\"\n\n"; > $msg .= "Play for a chance to win a Caribbean cruise presented by > Carnival Cruise Line and <a > > href='http://www.contus.com'>Contus.com</a>.\n\n"; > $msg .= "This adgame is presented by the American Advertising > Federation, which cordially invites you to attend the <a > href='http://www.aaf.org'> AdVentures > Conference</a>, the AAF's National > Convention in Miami, Florida June 5-8. > $msg .= "This adgame was created by AdGames.biz.\n\n"; > $mailheaders = "From: webmaster@adgames.biz\n"; > $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: webmaster@adgames.biz\n\n"; > mail("$friendemail1", "$username Referred you an Adgame!", $msg, > $mailheaders); > > My auto response email is printed with the < a href=....code instead of > creating the hyperlink for me. > > Any suggestions on how to create this type of hyper link in a non html > email? In a non-html email, ie a plain-text email, any text such as www.domain.com would automatically be interpreted by modern mail-clients as a URL link. In other words there is no need (in fact it's not possible within plain-text) to specifically specify that a link is a link. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* No spitting on the Bus!
