I have a really weird error with the mail() function in php.
This is the code i'm using to send the message:
$to = strip_tags($_POST['newMail']);
$subject = "Company: Update your email address ";
$message = $mailHeader.'<b>Hello from Company!</b><br/> <br/> Please confirm your new email address by clicking this link: <a href="http://www.Company.com/confirm.php?regID='.$regID.'&newemail='.mysql_escape_string($_POST['newMail']).'" class="link"> Confirm Email Address Change</a><br/><br/><p class="p"><b>Thank you.</b></p><br/><b class="h2">Company.</b>'.$mailFooter;
$from = "<noreply@company.com>";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
";
$headers .= "From: Company Name" . $from. "
";
To note, the company name has been replaced with 'company'.
EDIT - $mailHeader

Now this works fine, the mail is sent and received no error message appear, however when i click on the link, it directs me to a url missing either a 'w' in the href part of the message (Mail.app Apple):
<a href="http://ww.Company.com/confirm.php?
Or a random letter from the link:
<a href="http://www.Compay.com/confirm.php?
Am i doing something wrong?
I believe the error lies in the charset aspect of the email or the encoding.
EDIT - removing mysql_escape_string() made no difference to the result.
