help with sending link via autoresponder email

[kimeee]

howdy... i have been trying to add this functionality to my php but so far it's not working...

this is the deal:

i have created php code to autorespond to form submission... i now want to add onto that code... making it possible to add a link in the autoresponse body that will shoot an email back to me... which basically verifies that they were the actual senders.

this is the part of the php code i have been trying (with the incorrect stuff still in it in red)...

$autoresponder_message = <<<MSG
Hi %nominatorName_req%,\n

I think this should work:

[code]$autoresponder_message=
"Hi %nominatorName_req%,\n
Thank you for your nomination. \n
Please recheck your submitted information.\n
If it is correct, please click this <a href=/"{'mailto:kheatley@mit.edu?subject=".$verifysubject."&body=".$verifybody."'}\">{'link'}</a> to complete the nomination process.\n
//continue[/code]

And dont forget- escape double quotes in the message itslef (like I did here).

Orio.
