I am trying to send clickable links which trigger a script in FileMaker databases via email to PC Outlook users via plain text emails (generated by a FileMaker database).

 

The users are on locked-down workstations in a hospital environment and can not add file protocol associations to Outlook's settings.

Since this configuration of Outlook *does* convert URLs that start with "http" into clickable links,
I was thinking that I could get around the Outlook limitation by sending an http: link that looks something the URL in the attachment   (i had trouble inserting the URL via <code> into this post (it kept coming up blank), so, I've attached an image of it.




With the code of "t.php" being:


<?php


$url=$_GET['var'];


?>

<html>

    <head>

        <title>One second please... :)</title>

        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL='<?php echo $url; ?>'" />

    </head>

    <body>

        <p><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">Redirecting to <?php echo $url; ?></a></p>

    </body>

</html>





 however, the FileMaker script parameter  (&param=abc123) is getting dropped.


Do you know how I might be able to redirect to the entire URL with the parameter in tact???


I'm not married to PHP to pull this off..   any thoughts?


 


Many thanks in advance.

Not sure about your situation but it often works to use a var in a pathname rather than a param. Not sure why one works and then other doesn't. I think there's examples in the Help and FTS 12 has examples of using var in a pathname.

$url may need have sections of it URL encoded for embedding into email.


 


Does it work if you copy and paste it from the echo of the example?
