Clinton Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm trying to get the html to show in the e-mail (so 'here' is highlighted and they can click on it) but instead it just shows the link. I've tried a couple of things but am getting errors. How do I go about doing this? Thank you. <? $query = "UPDATE users SET First='$first', MI='$mi', Last='$last', Phone='$homephone', Email='$email', CellPhone='$CellPhone', Username='$username', Status='$status' WHERE ID='$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error()); $to = "$email"; $subject = "Your California Office Database Registration"; $body = "Hi, $first $last. Your access to the California Office Database has been modified. Logon <a href='test.php'>here</a> to view your status."; if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) { echo("<p>An e-mail to the user has gone out. <a href='index.php'>Return</a><br></p>"); } else { echo("<p>The e-mail FAILED to go out.</p>"); echo("The registration information has been updated. <a href='index.php'>Return</a><br>"); } } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfreaks Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 try something like this <?php $headers = "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $body = "<html>"; $body .= "<head>"; # more message $body .= "</html>"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well for the code I posted there is no errors. It just shows the link address instead of making it hyper. I want to be able to click on it. I tried stopping the php code ?> and starting it after some html <?... oh I just tried to change it again and I"m not getting errors but it's just posting the code: This is what showed up in my e-mail when I tried to start and stop code: Logon ?> <a href='http://test'>here</a> <?to view your status."; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfreaks Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 try what i posted above then in your mail statement <?php mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers); //// note change $message to $body?> <?php $headers = "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $body = "<html>"; $body .= "Hi, $first $last. Your access to the California Office Database has been modified. Logon <a href='test.php'>here</a> to view your status."; $body .= "</html>"; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did that and it sent the e-mail but there was no text. Instead there was two .dat files attached to the e-mail. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
