Re: mailto function

In order to access php variables They need to be inside <?php ?> tags.

Assuming that you have previously retrieved the correct row and that the $row now holds the data, you can use:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

<a href = "mailto:<?php echo $row['sup_email']?>"></a>

Re: mailto function

I put that inside a while loop so again no need to put <?php ?> right??
I did like this,

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$email=$row['sup_email'];
echo "<td class='style3'><a href = mailto:'$email'?subject='FillUpStocks'>$email</a></td>";
$email=$row['sup_email'];
echo "<td class='style3'><a href = mailto:'$email'?subject='FillUpStocks'>$email</a></td>";

And the problems solved...

Btw thanks for your reply..
