Hi,
I want to send an email from a web page which is fine, but I also want to put a link in the email and attach a variable to it that will be displayed when the user click and goes to the new page, whats the best way to do this?

Basically, just make sure you set the Content-type text/html. Something like this headers:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";Then, just write out your link as you normally would and hope they can receive HTML formated email... :)

The above lines allow you to format the email message with HTML. Something like this:

<?PHP
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: you@your.com\r\n";
$to = "ryan@infinitypages.com";
$subject = "Some subject";
$message = "<p>This is the message with some <em>HTML</em> formatting.</p><p>Second paragraph...</p>";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
