Badly need some php help :)

Hey guys...

I have been working on setting up an web based email site. I have it up and running and it works great.

Except.....

One of the attractions to an email site for me was the ability to add a tag line in all outgoing emails as to help spread the word about the site.

The script has a tag line system that you can set up either as an html tag or a plain text tag.

Problem is I can not get the system to NOT send out BOTH tag lines. HTML and Plain text, in the SAME email.

If I set up only the html tag, it still sends the email with a horizontal line under the html tag and has the   code that shows under tha horizontal line. Looks really crappy.

Can someone please help me with this? It is holding me up from promoting the site.

Thank you,
John

PS - I have to go out for the day but if I can, I need to deal with this at once. So... please send an email to my wife at pede69 [@] comcast.net and I will have all the login information ready for her to send to you. Thank you so much again for your help and I will be happy to give you a once year web hosting account for you help if you need it. All the bells and whistles. (unix)

    If I'm reading this right, why don't you make your clickable html tag something like Free Email Service and then set your plain text tag to say something like Reliable email service - FREE.

    At least this way you'll avoid the   tag. Also, have you looked at the php file that is being called by your main script? Maybe the   tag is in there??

      It may take a bit of hunting to find the errant bit of code, but if you're using some templating system I'd look there first.

      If you are still stuck then give me a PM with the login details and I'll have a dig around for you.

      Kind regards, Spencer

    Common logic error is a possibility, like richardt23476 mentioned. It sounds like the   is printed as text instead of being interpreted properly as presentation for the non-breaking space character as an HTML entity. Could this be related to unicode? See some of the extended character set in the code excerpt below.
      = \u00A0
    © = \u00A9
    ™ = \u00AE

    I saw this resource on another website, but it might be useful to you here. Take a look at this mapping of unicode characters (not my site, no affiliation).
