mail() - PLEASE HELP

[Anon]

I have a problem with the message body part of the mail() function....

I have a link in the email to a php script, and I want to send a variable (int) along when somebody clicks on the link, like so,

$mailcontent = "<a href=http://server/~username/page.php?refvar=varibale here*>

It will then put this into a hidden field....
I have tried to put the variable name in {} and \" {} \" and on its own. When i click on the link i get " //server/~username/page.php?refvar= "...

can anyone assist?
Thanks
Ian

Assuming you have something like:

$mailcontent="<A HREF=\"http://www.site.com/page.php?varname=$value\">";

I'd suggest checking $mailcontent before calling the mail() function. Likely as not the variable $value hasn't made it into the input string.
