It starts to read it as text and not html??
Could this be a server side problem?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$fromaddress .= 'admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

You should not have a mime boundary in your headers. Why not use
PHPMailer? All this (apparently) complicated stuff is already
implemented for you. Either that or spend a few days learning about the
structure of emails by following the links Daniel Brown sent you a few
emails ago.
PHPMailer can be found here: http://phpmailer.sf.net/

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

I implemented the proposed code, and emails are not being sent?
Any suggestions?
Here is the code
<?
$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;
$msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
$msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
$body.='<ahref="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';
$msg .= $body.$eol.$eol;
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?>
[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);
?>
