cant use a dang ';' semicolon:S

[foid025]

Hi. I've been working on a piece of code for a while, and its driving me a bit crazy. 😕

$email = $row->email;
$mailer .= $email;
$mailer .= "semicolon";

This is in a while loop - so it takes data from a mySQL db and makes a list of email adresses from it. I then have this:

	 $print = "<a href=mailto:";
						$replace = str_replace("semicolon", chr(59), $mailer);
						$subtract = substr($replace, 0, strlen($replace)-0);
						$print .= $subtract;
						$print .= ">";
					

<center><font face="Arial" size=2><? echo $print; ?><b>mailer</b></a></font></center>

This is thus to make a link that writes an email to all these addresses. Problem is with the semicolon... When I put my cursor over the link, I see a list of all the email addresses (at the bottom of i.e., where it indicates where links go to) but when I click on it, only the first email adress is printed.

Thanks!

First thing I notice is that you haven't put quotes around the tag's href attribute's value.

Second thing I notice is that you're using semicolons to separate multiple addressses when RFC2822 (§3.4) specifies commas.

Third thing I notice is that your data format will choke if anyone uses an address with the word "semicolon" in it 🙂
