having a link in an email

[grudz]

I have this code in my page......however, when the user receives an email....they actually see the <a href="www(what my $referer is)........ and its not even a clickable link.......what can i do to actually make it a link?

$mailcontent = "$from went to and found and interesting thing that he would like for you to check out. Here is the link: <a href=\"$referer\">$referer</a> \nadditional comments by $from: $comments";

If you're gonna use html, then you need to use a html header for the email

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15

Look at http://www.php.net/mail for more details.

i have that

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"> 
<style type="text/css"> 
<!-- 
@import url("css/baselineNoBack.css"); 
--> 
</style> 
<?php 
  $from = trim($_POST['from']); 
  $fromemail = 'From: '.trim($_POST['fromemail']); 
  $to = trim($_POST['to']); 
  $toemail = trim($_POST['toemail']); 
  $subject = trim($_POST['subject']); 
  $comments = trim($_POST['comments']); 
  $referer = trim($_POST['referer']); 

  $mailcontent = "$from went to [url]www.mtl-baseline.com[/url] and found and interesting thing that he would like for you to check out. Here is the link: <a href=\"$referer\">$referer</a> \nadditional comments by $from: $comments"; 


  mail($toemail, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromemail);

It needs to be in the email header, not html header

<?php 

  $from = trim($_POST['from']); 

  $fromemail = 'From: '.trim($_POST['fromemail']); 

  $fromemail .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15';

  $to = trim($_POST['to']); 

  $toemail = trim($_POST['toemail']); 

  $subject = trim($_POST['subject']); 

  $comments = trim($_POST['comments']); 

  $referer = trim($_POST['referer']); 



  $mailcontent = "$from went to <a href="http://www.mtl-baseline.com" target="_blank">[url]www.mtl-baseline.com[/url]</a> and found and interesting thing that he would like for you to check out. Here is the link: <a href=\"$referer\">$referer</a> \nadditional comments by $from: $comments"; 





  mail($toemail, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromemail);

i can do this......

$mailcontent = "$from went to [url]www.mtl-baseline.com[/url] and found and interesting thing that he would like for you to check out. Here is the link: $referer \nadditional comments by $from: $comments"; 

but if the $referer is site.com/my name
its going to stop after "my" not going until "name"

Then you need to use rawurlencode() to chance spaces to %20

[grudz]

i know about that...actually urldecode works.....not rawurlencode

[grudz]

the code u gave me works great thanx....however, u made my variable $fromemail = 'content......'

but i had a textbox called fromemail that i needed......u took out the $_POST and put 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15';.......how do i have to configure it now?
