RE: Cannot send a hyperlink

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We are sending email now,
But we are back to the original problem,
No hyperlink!

  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $fromaddress .= 'admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
  $fromname .= 'Zone of success Club';
  $eol="\r\n";
  $headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;    
  $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol;            
  $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
  $body.= '<a href="'http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com'">link </a>';
  $msg .= $body.$eol.$eol;
  mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers);


Yields

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
/home/zoneof5/public_html/index.php on line 76

    Brad,

    That code is a mess and highly incorrect, even at a novice level.
Let me give you a hand....

[snip]

    1.) You reference $to in the mail() function, but there is no $to
defined.  Instead, either change $email to $to or vice-versa.
    2.) You don't need to start the first line of a variable off with
a .= --- this will append to an existing variable of the same name, if
it exists.
    3.) You change your quoting style where it's not necessary.  All
$msg lines should be using double quotes in your code above.
    4.) <ahref="..." is not a tag.  The correct usage is <a href="..."
    5.) You have things in the message body that should be in the headers.
    6.) You don't need to do a carriage return and newline in the
message body.  A simple \n will suffice.
    7.) I'm not sure what you hoped to achieve with the
"'.www.domain.com.'" conglomerate, but.... don't.  That makes PHP
think that the domain is some sort of internally-defined variable of
horrible construct.
    8.) You should use http:// prior to the FQDN.

    Taking hints from what appears to be your code, this is how it should
be:
<?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$eol="\r\n";
$headers  = "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP ".phpversion().$eol;
$headers .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$body = "<a href=\"http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com\";>link </a>\n";
mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
