[SOLVED] mailer help please =]

[Mr P!nk]

Hi

 

I've created a php mail system which distributes email newsletters to 100's of our clients, within the newsletter there's a mailto link which works fine but the subject i'm trying to force isn't coming up properly, it's just the first word of the sentence that shows.

 

this is the code im using

 

<a href=mailto:[email protected]?subject= 40% Funding enquiry>[email protected].</a>   

Also tried

<a href=mailto:[email protected]?subject= 40%%20Funding%20enquiry>[email protected].</a>

 

but both return just 40% in the subject line in the email page,

anyone have any ideas/suggestions would be most appreciated

 

Thanks =]

try placing double quotes around it like so:

 

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject= 40% Funding enquiry">[email protected].</a>

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject= 40% Funding enquiry">[email protected].</a>

 

thanks for the quick reply.

 

that's not possible to do with this mailer, there's a link parse file running along side so you don't have to enter the full HTML markup (i can post the code for this for a better understanding) so if i put the quotes in it stops the mailto from working  :-\.

 

but thanks for your input

appreciated

This???

This is the link parse that stops me from doing simple HTML tags

 

 

<?php
//
// Parse text for links
//
// KNOWN BUGS
// the characters "/>" are added when a link is parsed after a line break
//
function parse($sample){

// constructors & declarations
$Ngram = array();
$text = nl2br($sample);

// split text in Ngrams
$Ngram = explode(" ", $text);
//$Ngram = preg_split( "/[ \n]+/", $text );
// perform search
for($i=0; $i<count($Ngram); $i++){
	//echo $Ngram[$i]."<br />";

	// check to see if Ngram is minimum web address length ie. www.xx.de
	if(strlen($Ngram[$i]) >= 9){

		// look for www.
		if(substr($Ngram[$i],0,4) == "www."){
			// clean up fullstops
			if(substr($Ngram[$i],-1,1) == "."){
				$length = strlen($Ngram[$i])- 1;
				$Ngram[$i] = substr($Ngram[$i],0,$length);
			}
			// strip html tags
			$Ngram[$i] = strip_tags($Ngram[$i]);

			// convert to hyperlink
			$tmp = "<a href=\"http://" . $Ngram[$i] . "\" target=\"_BLANK\">" . $Ngram[$i] . "</a>";
			$Ngram[$i] = $tmp;
		} // end IF

	} // end IF

} // end FOR

// re-assemble the text
for($i=0; $i<count($Ngram); $i++){

	$parsed .= $Ngram[$i] . " ";
} // end FOR

// return parsed text
return $parsed;
}

?>  

 

This???

 

 

<a href=mailto:[email protected]?subject=%2040%%20Funding%20enquiry>[email protected].</a>

 

no :-\ still just the 40% in the subject header ,

Thanks though

Try this:

% -> %25 for url encoding

 

<a href=mailto:[email protected]?subject=%2040%25%20Funding%20enquiry>[email protected].</a>

[Mr P!nk]

thank you very much.

it worked

 

 

can you tell me what that's just done?

 

[The Little Guy]

I replaced the % sign with a %25 (a URL ecoded version of %) it must have been reading it and when it got to the % after the 40, it didn't know what to do.
