Just remember that according to W3C standards, you must rawurlencode() the link that's provided at the end of a mailto. i.e. <a href="mailto:jdoe@some.where.com?Subject=Simple testing(s)&bcc=jane@some.where.com">Mail Me</a> Needs to be escaped (which rawurlencode() does for us). The colon is OK after "mailto", as is the "@" after the e-mail name. However, the rest of the URL needs to be encoded, replacing the following: '?' => %3F '=' => %3D ' ' => %20 '(' => %28 ')' => %29 '&' => %26 '@' => %40 (note this one is in 'jane@some.where.com' I tried to post the note with the correct text (that is the characters replaced in the note), but it said that there was a line that was too long, and so wouldn't let me add the note. As a secondary note, I noticed that the auto-conversion routines at this site itself stopped the link at the space after "Simple testing(s)' in the first entry shown above. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58326 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58326&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58326&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
