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.

No database involved here. None. Nadda. Niet!
$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.)
That's because it's not valid PHP. This is probably what you're after...
$message = '<a href="http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com";>link</a>';
$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???)
That looks reasonable.
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.)
That's because it's in the wrong place. Did you even look at the manual
like I suggested in my previous message?
I hope this helps explain where my head is!
My advice to you is to get a beginners book on basic PHP. If you can't
see what's wrong with the above then you are lacking some foundation
knowledge of PHP.

The Answer is quiet simple.
$E_MAIL = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "To: Their Name<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \r\n";
$headers .= "From: your email <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";
$link = "http://www.zoneofsuccessclub.com";;
$mailmsg = "BLAH BLAH BLAH link:<a href=$link>zoneofsuccessclub</a>";
$mailsubject = "what ever you want to say";
mail("$E_MAIL", "$mailsubject", "$mailmsg", "$headers");
You can use the database to generate the $E_MAIL address and the $to
Never Ever had this to not work.
Your problem is the Headers are missing which allows the html content to
embed into the email.
Try that I think you will be happy.

Well, anyone doing this:
mail("$E_MAIL", "$mailsubject", "$mailmsg", "$headers");
makes ME very unhappy. I don't get it, what's so hard to understand
about NOT HAVING TO USE ANY QUOTES HERE ? Are you defining any type of
string-like values here? no. Then you don't need quotes, right? no, you
don't. SO DON'T USE THEM HERE THEN.
You're defining a $to and an $E_MAIL, you're not using $to anywhere, and
only using $E_MAIL in one place (out of two), thus creating a mismatch
between your headers and the To parameter for mail (which is used in
SMTP traffic). [iz bad (tm)]

Brad I'm sorry.
Instead of insulting you and telling you to go read a book I simply
explained an option.
Yes you do not need quotes in the mail() function.
As for the declared variables I was trying to show you an example.
You will find many explanations for how or what is best practice.
Remember that some people like to toot a horn that can be reputed in many
ways. These are the same people who again and again are not the ones who
answer the questions, yet try to take credit by belittling the answer with
gibberish.
The answer was intended to take you in a better direction when constructing
a email application in php.
$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;
$msg .= $body.$eol.$eol;
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

Hi all...
in the past i'd worked for a web development company. We had some
Windows, some MacOSX and some Linux workstations and a central
Dedian development server. The best solution to work with an IDE
was the use of Eclipse with the needed plugins. On every machine the
same environment for development and the individual stuff for
design/grafix and more. No problems with a central subversion/CVS
repo and a NFS/Samba share for the apache document root on the devel
server.
regards
Mario

Hi all:
I am trying to get information from a rather long-running PHP script to
send out messages to the client as things are being processed. In reading the
manual, it seemed that using flush() was the ideal command for this. Well, it
doesn't seem to be working for me. I've even tried sending over a large number
of blanks (like 4096 of 'em) before doing anything, but still no go.
The flush() activity is supposed to occur on a page that has POSTed back to
itself, so perhaps that's causing the heartburn?
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this type of user mollification?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jochem,
yes, you are right. But as you wrote, it is only a work around and won't
give me the security I want to have.
