My bad, You do not need command line access! I should have read more. I just need to get this puppy working is all. Php should be able to do this by it's self! -----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.
