Donovan Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have an email form mailer notifing a user if they is a waiting question. I can't seem to get the $link to display in the email as a a link. It just has the url displayed as all text. I cobbled this together from several sources. First from my notify () function. while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($sql)) { $to = $row['email']; $title = $row['title']; $lastname = $row['last_name']; $message = $row['comment_text']; $headers .= "From: do_not_reply\nReply-To: do_not_reply@xxxxx.xxx \r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $subject = "A question is waiting"; $link = 'http://www.test.edu/xxxx/admin/login.php'; if(strlen($template)==0) { // Get the welcome email body from saved .html file if(!$fp = fopen($CONF_PATH."/xxxxx/template/emailquestion.tpl", "r")) { //file open failed, create error routine here Print ("File open failed very badly!"); exit; } while (!feof($fp)) { $send_body .= fgets($fp, 100); } fclose($fp); if ($count > 1) { $template = $send_body; } } else { $send_body = $template; } $send_body = eregi_replace("__lastname__", $lastname, $send_body); $send_body = eregi_replace("__title__", $title, $send_body); $send_body = eregi_replace("__message__", $message, $send_body); $send_body = eregi_replace("__link__", $link, $send_body); //echo"$send_body"; mail($to, $subject, $send_body, $headers); } } This is passed to a template... emailquestion.tpl. Example: <table width="100%"> <tr><td>The title of the question is: __title__ </td></tr> <br /><br /> <tr><td>The contents of the question is: <quote> __message__ </quote></td></tr> <br /><br /><br /> <tr><td>Click on the following link to go to the system and sign in with your account login and password.</td></tr> <br /> <tr><td>__link__</td></tr> </table> __link__ is displayed as http://www.test.edu/xxxx/admin/login.php but is not a link to click on. It is just text. I would rather have it as a proper <a href=" whatever </a> in the email. I have tried different browser based email clients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mind Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 put <html> and <body> at the beggining of the email and then just do normal HTML. Be sure to end the html and body tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
