Drupal - use l or url function for mailto links

Question

Does anyone know how to use the l() or url() function to create mailto links?

I am running drupal 6.

Solution 1

You need to use the absolute option:

l('Mail me', 'mailto:[email protected]', array('absolute' => TRUE));

will generate

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Mail Me</a>

Solution 2

A good practice is to use the t() function with strings. Code should be then:

l(t('Mail me'), 'mailto:[email protected]', array('absolute' => TRUE));

You may want to add quotes around 'absolute'. Just for people out there learning PHP...
