Send Email With $Email Variable Displayed

[aquatradehub]

Hi, I have this code to send an email once a user has registered. I would like to display the $email variable in the email, but the validation link just shows up exactly as it was written, and does not display the $email variable as it should be; the persons email address. It sends the email ok, so I am confused as to why it is not displayed.

 

Sorry, I cannot select the code tags.

 

/* Send validation email */

 

// recipients

 

// subject

$subject = 'AquaTradeHub.com Validation Email';

 

// message

$message = '

<p>Thank you for registering with AquaTradeHub.com</p>

<br>

<p>Please validate your account <a href="http://www.zambiheadshop.com/validate.php?email=$email">Click here</a>';

 

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

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

 

// Additional headers

$headers .= 'From: AquaTradeHub.com <validate@aquatradehub.com>' . "\r\n";

 

// Mail it

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

 

 

/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */

 

header('Location: thanks.php');

exit();

}}

 

Any help is much appreciated.

 

The email variable is defined earlier in the script.

Oh my god.

What is it with this today? I have never seen this so many times in one day. I know there's more than just these ones too.

/* Send validation email */

$message = "

<p>Thank you for registering with AquaTradeHub.com</p>

<br>

<p>Please validate your account <a href='http://www.zambiheadshop.com/validate.php?email=$email'>Click here</a>";

 

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

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

 

// Additional headers

$headers .= 'From: AquaTradeHub.com <validate@aquatradehub.com>' . "\r\n";

 

// Mail it

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

 

 

/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */

 

header('Location: thanks.php');

exit();

}}

Use code tags next time.

As I said at the beginning of this topic

 

" Sorry, I cannot select the code tags."

 

I dont know why, but I cant change font, size, code, link whatever, its all pale and does not do anything when I click on them apart from highlighting that icon

[Jessica]

Click the lightswitch in the top left. Does that change it?

Are you selecting the text and then clicking the icon? What browser are you using? etc.

 

Also, you can just type [ code ] and [ /code] without the spaces.
