email links

[ngreenwood6]

I have set-up an email link to reset the users password. I have this code for the subject:

 

$message = "Please <a href='reset.php?email=$reset_email'>click here</a> to reset your password.";

 

It sends the email but the problem is that it doesnt show it as a link as click here. It just shows the code. Anyone know how to get it to show the link in an email?

HTML requires double quotes. Replace the single quotes (') with double quotes ("). You will have to escape them (\") as they will be appearing within a double quote enclosed string.

That shouldn't be the problem.

 

Are you sending a header?

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

 

Then your mail function should look something like

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

You cant use html inside of php with double quotes for the first response. The second response is yes I am using the headers but it is showing the link but the full link and not the click here as the link if that makes sense.

When you say "subject", are you referring to the subject of the email? HTML code should not be in the subject of an email, only the body.
