Explanation of code

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
(generated by dreamweaver that pulls in the database functions)

$message = '<a href="'.www.zoneofsuccessclub.com.'">link </a>';
(my nemesis, I can not figure out this puppy. If it works at all, php will
generate it at text and not html. Taken from example I find on the web.)

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";  $headers .= 'Content-type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
(found on the web to solve my html problem???)

mail( $email, "Your FREE book from Zone of Success Club .com", $headers,
$message, "From: $email" ); ?>
(Send the mail, when I put $headers in, the function quits working all
together.)

I hope this helps explain where my head is!

Brad

I have no idea what you mean by this. It makes no sense to me.

You *really* need to read the manual page for function before you use 
them. For example a quick glance at http://php.net/function.mail reveals 
that you have the parameters in an almost completely wrong order.

And please tell me you're not really setting the to address directly 
from an external variable with verifying that it's just an email address 
and nothing else. Really bad idea.
