insert url link into email

[cozzy1984]

Hi there, just managed to get a email activation working although the only problem i'm having is actually displaying the url link in the email. It is only outputting it as text and not a clickable link. Know this is probably really simple but, would really appreciate if someone could show me how to.

 

My code is:

$mail->Body = "Your account has been successfully created with the following details:\n\nUsername: $username\nPassword: $password\nEmail: $email\nForename: $forename\nSurname: $surname\nLocation: $location\n\nPlease click on the link to activate your account.\n<a href'http://localhost/Ad'll%20Do/activate.php?username=$username&&do=$active_code'>Activate Account</a>";

You need to change the format of your mail to text/html

<a href'http:  Wrong! baby...

<a href = 'http (and the rest of the link)  you forgot the "="

<a href'http://localhost/Ad'll%20Do/activate.php?username=$username&&do=$active_code'>

 

should be

 

<a href="http://localhost/Ad'll%20Do/activate.php?username=$username&&do=$active_code">

 

Do you knowHTML lol? JP
