Hi TheProdigyGuy,
thanks for your replied, i did change my code but when i get the notification its still display the link, not hiding under the download it. Below is the result after i use your code:

Name:new download
Attachment: <a href="http://www.abc.com.my/file/upload/7932Document1.pdf">Download It</a>

Please advice.
Thanks

You are Welcome blank81)

s the result after i use your code:

Name:new download
Attachment: <a href="http://www.abc.com.my/file/upload/7932Document1.pdf">Download It</a>

IMHO you have missed again properly $headers.

Code: Select all

<?php
$adminmail="xxx@abc.com.my";
$adminmail2="zzz@abc.com.my";

$headers='MIME-Version: 1.0' .PHP_EOL;
$headers .='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . PHP_EOL;

Code: Select all

$headers.="From:abc@abc.com\n";
$headers.="Cc:abcd@abc.com\r\n";
$subject="new download\n\n ";
$message="Name:new download\n";
$new_file_name="myfile.rar";
$message.=
'<a href="http://www.abc.com.my/file/upload/' . $new_file_name . '">' . 'Download It</a>' . PHP_EOL;
@mail(yourstuffgoeshere);
?>

Did you try that exact code which i posted above?(I resposted it again *See the red lines*)
Also note that:(Especially if you are using some mail client programs for 'fetch' mails from inbox such as Thunderbird,The BAT,Outlook etc.) that mail programs can force HTML tags to look like as plaintext.
So if you are using such client programs check settings(Message Body AS Original HTML not plaintext in this case)
It shuld work for you (i retested it on my localhost webserver and i'm getting HTML formatted mails as well)

Cheers.
