I'd say just paste the link in the message body, most email clients will render this to a link. Otherwise you could write a html mail (though not everybody accepts html mails or strips them down to text). use your favourit mailscript.

not to sure what you want but if you want the clients to know that you received their info then you could add a // redirect to success page
in your .php file



[PHP]// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>" );

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh \" content=\"0;URL =thankscontact. htm\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh \" content=\"0;URL =error.htm\">";
}[/PHP]

I hope that is what you're looking for

ps make sure you make a thankscontact.h tm (or whatever you name it)file

Okay let i guess this is what you want....not sure but it might help you...

when user fills a registration form and hit submit button. You probably do insertion in DB, when you do insertion get the last inserted id. and store it in variable let say '$userid'. Make link in the email that you will send to the user and that link will contain that last inserted id e.g the link might look like this.

<a href='http://yoursite.com/authentication.php?userid=$userid'>Click Here</a>

Make sure to encrypt $userid before using it in the above link.

When user click on this link that link will bring user to authentication. php. Here first you will decrypt $userid and then find this ID in your DB. If you find a record set then user will be authenticated and you can set his/her status as verified user. and refdirect to THANK YOU page or Login page. what ever you want.


Hope this helps you.
