Sentmail To send a URL


I use php to send an email reseting a password.

<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if($_POST['UserEmail'] == '')
 {
  $_SESSION['error']['UserEmail'] = "E-mail is required.";
 }
 else
 {
  //whether the UserEmail format is correct
  if(preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([a-zA-Z0-9._-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)+$/", $_POST['UserEmail']))
  {
   //if it has the correct format whether the UserEmail has already exist
   $UserEmail= $_POST['UserEmail'];
   $to = $UserEmail;
   $subject = "Forgotten Password";
   $header = "Change your password using the link below";
   $message = "http://www.yourname.com/confirm.php?UserEmail=$UserEmail&5832572895237532897523875";
   $sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
   }
  }
?>

I want the $message to be a clickable link how do i do this.

This is using WAMPs default mailing system.

cheers

I Have tried adding an anchor tag but that sends the anchor aswell not just the clickable link using $Message="<a href=http://www.yourname.com/confirm.php?UserEmail=James@email.co.uk&5832572895237532897523875>click here</a>" Doesnt work either any suggestions

Fix Found basically it was fine just leaving the link in without any anchor tags.

$message="http://www.sitename.com/this.php?Username=email@email.com&432941482401284" 

will display a clickable link inside your email.

Sorry for that


Solution

  • use anchor tag to make it clickable and assing it to $message:-

    $message= "<a href='http://www.yourname.com/confirm.php?UserEmail=".$UserEmail."&5832572895237532897523875'>Click Here</a>";
