Is there a way to format php sendmail without it being in a form
just a simple email address in an

anchor? Thanks,

because a customer complained. I never used mailto before. I will
never know if it was sporadic

if it was because of the php extension but maybe that shouldn't matter.

This has turned into a pretty long thread that's not going in the
direction you need. Lots of advice, much of it good, but little to let
you point yourself in a good direction. I'm no guru by any means, but
here are my opinions:

1. Mail-to is a poor way to go. In general mailto links are easily
scraped to steal addresses for spam lists and worse because the keep all
the information out in the open. They're easy to compromise.

2. IMO the PHP language is a great way to go as you can have files on
the server which do many things, including providing security for e-mail
addresses and any personal information you may store.

3. You don't mention your OS that I noticed, but the PHP mailto()
function will implement server-side scripts what no one else can see or
get at if it's written with good enough security. All the important
work happens on the server where it's not visible to hackers and doesn't
show up in ANY HTML code that a "view source" displays.

IMO again, the best places to start learning about PHP would be:
1. php.net/manual/en/index.php <----------- more or less a bible on PHP
2. www.w3schools.com/‎ <---- good tutorials, etc. More "plain language"
than the "manual". Testable examples, etc.
3. Newsgroup This one
4. and finally, a good forum:

Luck!
