how to set url which has sent to the mail and that link should be redirect on another url in php

I have URL which is sent to the given email. However, I would like user clicking that URL to be redirected to another URL.

I have tried the below code for sending mail,but I don't know how to create a URL which will redirect to another page.

<?php

$send_link=getLink("http://www.google.com",array("referral"=>"123","mobilenumber"=>"1234"));
echo $send_link;


function getLink($url,$params=array(),$use_existing_arguments=false)
{

    if($use_existing_arguments) $params = $params + $_GET;

    if(!$params) return $url;
    $link = $url;

    if(strpos($link,'?') === false) $link .= '?';
    //If there is no '?' add one at the end
    elseif(!preg_match('/(\?|\&(amp;)?)$/',$link)) $link .= '&amp;';
    //If there is no '&' at the END, add one.
    $params_arr = array();
    foreach($params as $key=>$value)
    {

        if(gettype($value) == 'array')
        {
            //Handle array data properly
            foreach($value as $val)
            {
                $params_arr[] = $key . '[]=' . urlencode($val);
            }

        }
        else
        {
            $params_arr[] = $key . '=' . urlencode($value);
        }

    }

    $link .= implode('&amp;',$params_arr);
    return $link;
}

$user_id='1';
$get_referred_user=mysqli_query($con,"select * from Phone_Book_Email where contact_id='$user_id'");

if (mysqli_num_rows($get_referred_user) > 0)
{
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($get_referred_user))
    {
        $email_id=$row['email_id'];
        echo $email_id;
        $to      = $email_id;
        $subject = 'test';
        $message = 'URL- '.$send_link;
        $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .    'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        //header("Location:http://www.facebook.com");
        //header("refresh: $time_in_seconds; url=http://www.facebook.com");
    }

}


?>

Please suggest me guys what I have to do here for redirecting user clicking one url to another url.

To have one link pointing to another adress you will have to use in your email message HTML tags.

This means that in the header of your email you should use additionally:

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

Than in your message you can simply use HTML tags:

<HTML><BODY><A HREF="$link_a">$link_b</A></BODY></HTML>

where $link_a - is uri of redirect, and $link_b is link to be displayed.

Update 1 relating to the code in the comment:

As to the code provided by you in the comment there is one mistake in line

$message = 'URL- '."<A HREF=\"$send_link\">$link_b</A>";

it should look like this:

$message = "URL- "."<A HREF=\"$send_link\">$link_b</A>";

or best:

$message = "URL- "."<A HREF=\"".$send_link."\">".$link_b."</A>";

Update 2 full code:

You were also missing "\r\n" after X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() which could resulted in email not being formatted. Try something like this:

     $to = $email_id; 
    $subject = 'test';
    $send_link = 'http://google.com';
    $link_b = 'http://facebook.com';
 $message = "URL- "."<A HREF=\"".$send_link."\">".$link_b."</A>"; 
 $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
 'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion()."\r\n";
 $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
 $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
 mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

It's honestly very simple what you need.

<a href="http://facebook.com">google.com</a>

So in this case, it will show you google.com as the href link, but when you click on it, you'd go to facebook.
