    i have one issue sending HTML mails using my PHP code.
    html mail works fine until i use any link in the HTML page, ex <a href="something.com">click here</a>...
    when i use link in HTML body, it goes to Bulk folder...
    any idea ?

    This doesn't have to do with php, but with your email client. Your email client filters the emails he receives and maybe the ones that have links in them are considered as spam and sent to the Bulk folder.

    Try to add a 'from' header in case you didn't.
    ex: mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: ");

    The href parameter has to be an explicit URL. For example:
    <a href="something.com">click here</a> - is incorrect
    <a href="http://www.bla.com/something.com">click here</a> - is correct

    I have seen some filters see this as an attempt to execute something on the local machine, thus, moving it to bulk/spam.
