bladechob Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I've finally got this echo to work in a file but I need the email address to be ahref mailto linked.

The current code string is:[code] if (!$num) echo "<font color=\"white\">We are sorry but the dates you have selected are either being provisionally held or not available. Please select another date range or contact Selina Brady on 0870 770 4032 or email info@southernsunresorts.co.uk"[/code]What I'm doing is:[code] if (!$num) echo "<font color=\"white\">We are sorry but the dates you have selected are either being provisionally held or not available.
