email all with a links

[roscor]

Hi sorry for being still a newb (ain't a programmer and not sure if ever will b) but I am struggling with this problem.

I have a members list which whom I may wish to email at some point. I can select 1 or 3 or whatever or all and then email a message. I am currently using (once selected members using a check box/all) a contact form with textarea ( the contact form then uses mail() to forward the message.

I know I cannot use the textarea If I want to include a links such as <a href="example.php">example</a> because the link does not work on the received email as the textarea is purely text.

What is the best way to approach this as I am stuck in my own little conundrum!!!(re-think me thinks perhaps)

Any guidance will be much appreciated!

regards

roscor

You need to use an HTML mime type in your e-mails. More info from PHP manual:

http://us.php.net/function.mail

Feel free to post some code if you're not sure how to proceed.

Hey, you shouldn't worry about that, you will be an expert in no time.🙂 Keep using this forums and read a lot. There are lots of free resources available.

Why not use phpMailer? It's so easy.

Have a good day!
