PHP - Add A Link In A Text Email

Hi all

I have a script that creates an email message, but I want to add a link to it to take the user to PayPal. Here's my code:

   $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
            $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n";
            $headers .= "From: '".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']." Booking System' <info@".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."> \n";
            $subject = "Booking Confirmed!";   
            $message = "Dear ".$name.",<br /> <br /> This is confirmation of your booking. <br />";
            $message .= "<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 border=0>";
            $message .= "<tr><td>Date</td><td>Time From</td><td>Time To</td></tr>";
            $message .= $tempVar;
            $message .= "</table>";
            $message .="<br />Reservation Status: Confirmed<br/>";
            $message .="<br /><br />Kind Regards, <br /> ".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']." Team";
            mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers);   

Can anyone help me add a line to the above to add the link in?

Many thanks
Pete

I am sending emails using PHPMailer.  My configuration is below.   When adding a link to the message, should I use anchor tags?  Both seem to work.  What is the implication to recipients who are not using HTML email?   On a side note, if anything below seems wrong, please let me know.   Thanks

$msg='<p>Hello</p><p>Link: http://phpmailer.worxware.com/</p><p>Link: http://phpmailer.worxware.com</p><a href="http://phpmailer.worxware.com">http://phpmailer.worxware.com</a>';

$mail = new myPHPMailer(true);
$mail->AddReplyTo('myEmail@xxx.com', 'Michael Reed');
$mail->SetFrom('myEmail@xxx.com', 'Michael Reed');
$mail->AddAddress('johndoe@xxx.com', 'John Doe');
$mail->Subject = "Here is your email";
//AltBody property need not be sent since PHPMailer will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML($message);
return ($mail->Send());

class myPHPMailer extends PHPMailer {
    public function __construct($allow_exceptions=false){
        $this->isSMTP();
        $this->SMTPDebug = 0;
        $this->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
        $this->Port = 587;
        $this->SMTPSecure='tls';  // sets the prefix to the server.  Used for gmail only.
        $this->SMTPAuth = true;
        $this->Username = 'xxx';
        $this->Password = 'xxx';
    }
}

Hi All,
I'm sending an email with a link to a web page with a form on.

Code: [Select]
<tr style="padding:10px;">
  <td align="center">
    <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.foo.co.uk/bar.php?id=123">
      <img src="/header.jpg" border="0" style="display: block;" width="380" height="64" alt="Logo" />
    </a>
  </td>
</tr>

I currently GET the id from the URL and add it to a hidden field in the form which then sends the ID to the database on submit so I know from which email the user came from to fill out the form.
This doesn't always work as I guess some people move from the form page to look at other pages on my site then come back to fill in the form.
I think I need to use SESSION to keep the id 'active' but cannot figure out how to GET the id from the URL and put it into a SESSION, alas I am struggling to even start and finish a basic SESSION.

Thanks in advance,
Ben.

I have a line like this it prints text link but I prefer image link how should i edit it I would appreciate some feedback

$imagepath = uploadFile($_FILES['image'], $uploadPath);
$image = new SimpleImage();
$image->load($imagepath);
$image->resize(250,280);
$resize_rename = $uploadPath.$randomnum._.$removed_symbols;
$image->save($resize_rename);
unlink($imagepath); //delete the original file

executeSql($sql);
}
}

Hey guys,
I'm going to start working on a simple php/mysql project, and wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. Here is what I want to do:

1. User is presented with a simple form asking a series of questions (including email address)
2. Based on the answers, a specific download link is emailed to the user
3. store all inputted information in the database.

I'm still not sure if I want the email process to be automated, or "held" until the information is reviewed, then download link sent.

Does anyone know if a script already exist for this? I don't need to create user accounts, I just want to obtain user information every time they want to download something.

Thanks for any help.

Not sure if this relates more to PHP or Javascript/jQuery, but is there a way to attach a file to an email client (i.e Outlook), when user click on a link/button?

I have a link that generates a PDF and I want it so that, when someone click on a link, it will open up their email client with the PDF already attached, and subject already fill in.

I know, you can use <a href="mailto:..."  but that only opens up the mail client. I also need to attach a file with a subject fill in.

Is this doable with PHP or Javascript?

Hey guys im having a problem with emailing a link using local host mail. I'm using out look express with Mercury. I shorten the email below as much as possible.
Its really wierd the target for the link is correct but clicking on it gives me this res ieframe.dll

res://ieframe.dll/syntax.htm#http//localhost/stargate/users/account_settings.php?
npd=82b1e0df295ee681f1fa2f213ade823d


$to = $_POST['resendemail'];
     $from = "stargate@localhost.com";
     $subject = "Stargate System Lords Password Recovery";
    
     $message = "<html>
     <body background=\"#4B4B4B\">
     <h1>Stargate System Lords Password Recovery</h1>
     Dear ".$users1['name'].", <br>
     <center>

<a href="localhost/stargate/users/account_settings.php?npd=$new_password ">Log In</a>
     <p>
     <br /> 
     </font>

     </body>
     </html>";
   
$headers  = "From: Stargate Game Password Recovery <stargate@localhost.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 

i wanting users to be able to update there email address and check to see if the new email already exists. if the email is the same as current email ignore the check.
i have no errors showing up but if I enter a email already in the db it still accepts the new email instead of bringing the back the error message.
Code: [Select]
// email enterd from form //
$email=$_POST['email'];


$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE inv='$ivn' ") or die (mysql_error());
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $queryuser )) {
  $check=$info['email'];
 // gets current email //
}


if($check!=$email){
// if check not equal to $email check the new email address already exists//
$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' ");
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser);
if($checkuser != 0)
{
$error= "0";
header('LOCATION:../pages/myprofile.php?id='.$error.'');


}
}

cheers

Hi all,

I'm currently rewriting our contact us form using the php Pear Mail package. It allows both html based emails and text based emails, and displays the relevant version based on the end recipients broswer capabilities.

I have the html version working perfect, however the text based version spits out the whole message without line breaks. Since some of the computers in our building only except text emails (due to security) it needs to be laid out so that it is legible. I've searched around and tried various options but the emails are still arriving without breaks.

So as an example:

A User Inputs the following message using a textarea on the php form:

Hi there,

Great website, need help with such and such though.

Regards

Bob


The email message gets collected and included in a html message. Then a duplicate text based message is made like so (Code so far):

Code: [Select]
$plaintxt = '-----------------------------------------' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= Website Enquiry' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= '-----------------------------------------' . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'A visitor to our website has submitted the following enquiry:' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Name: ' . $visitor_name . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Company Name: ' . $visitor_companyname . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Email Address: ' .  $visitor_email . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Telephone Number: ' . $message_telephone . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Subject of Enquiry: ' . $msg_subject . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Enquiry: ' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= $message_body . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= '-----------------------------------------' . "\n\n";
$plaintxt .= 'User IP Address:' . $ip . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'User Browser Info:' . $httpagent . "\n";
$plaintxt .= 'Date/Time Submitted:' . $time . "\n";

$crlf = "\n";
$headers = array('From' => $contact_from_email, 'Return-Path' => $contact_from, 'Subject' => $subject, 'To' => $contact_to);
       
// Creating the Mime message
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
       
// Setting the body of the email
$mime->setTXTBody($htmlmessage); //Text version of the email
$mime->setHTMLBody($plaintxt); // HTML version of the email

 "\n"; - These were suggested by users on the pear mail manual.

Then once sent and opened you'd expect to see:

Yet if you look at the source of the email. The line breaks are there. Am I missing something?

$headers = "From: $from";
$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" ."Content-Type: multipart/alternative;\n" ." boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; \n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$body . "\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, '-f'.$from);


I have tried adding the plain text part but nothing has worked, could someone else look at this and show me what I need to add so that it has the text/plain MIME part as well?

I am in the middle of a project on my own website and want to add a filter on it, the results are displayed in a HTML table and are pulled in from a mysql database using php and want to add a text filter on the site. I want the filter to work by clicking on a status text link such as open, pending or closed and it filters the results that match that on the same page for that relevant text value. I was not sure if it's more a php question or if can be done with ajax/javascript

Hello all! I am somewhat new to PHP and SQL, but I think I have a basic understanding of how the language works. I have read through a million different websites and forums, and have tried a million different ways but am just not getting anywhere!

This is what I am trying to do... I have a text link that I want to click through to an outside URL from my website. This outside URL was already entered into an SQL database, and I just cant seem to get the text link to bring up the outside URL from the database. This is what I have so far...

1.) My webpage that I am working on is www.mywebsite.com/articles.php
2.) I want the text "Read more..." on this webpage to click through to an outside URL, like "http://www.google.com", which was already entered into an SQL database under the title of "article_link" in a new window
3.) So I would like for "Read more..." to click through the outside URL that was entered into "article_link" in the database

Code: [Select]
<?php
echo <p><a href="\' . $article_link . '\" target="_blank">Read more...</a></p>;
?>
Nothing I have tried has worked so far, nothing clicks through to the outside URL in the "article_link" entry from the database. Sorry if I am being redundant, I have been at this all day! Please help and thank you in advance!!
