No access to the server command line to install it! And, I am into this guy too deep to switch technologies. For the next time around, no problem, this time I am just trying to get php to do what it is supposed to do. The suggestion of mime was presented to me from another kind sole trying to help that knows more than I and recommended on other help files. Why is php refusing to parse as html? -----Original Message----- From: Stut [mailto:stuttle@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 9:46 AM To: Brad Cc: 'Daniel Brown'; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Cannot send a hyperlink Brad wrote: > Beginning with > $headers .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol; > It starts to read it as text and not html?? > > Could this be a server side problem? > > $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; > $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP ".phpversion().$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); 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.
