HTML: send to friend link

Question

I need to add the "Send to a friend" link to my site.

When a user clicks on it, their email software should open and the email should be filled out.

Subject: Site name Body: Link to the site, a brief description

perhaps? thank

Answer 1

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Website Name&body=Link to website, short description">Send me an email</a>

This is one way.

Answer 2

Using the mailto and GET protocol parameters is correct, but you should also use the urlencoded version for strings:

<a href="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Website+Name&body=Link+to+website%2C+short+description">Send me an email</a>

"+" "%20". PHP urlencode() , python 2.x urllib.urlencode() urllib, Perl uri_escape URI:: Escape package... ..

Answer 6

I think that you will need a simple form that allows people to enter their friends email address there. php mail is possible (just in case people don’t have email).
