How to get a Clickable Link inside this text string?

    The code below is from a simple PHP script that sends a test email.
    How can I get a clickable link inside this text based message string?
    Note: My Page is going to be the clickable link.

    $message = "Please Click on the link here: My Page";

    <a href='mypage.html'>My Page</a>

    Not quite sure why this is a PHP question, should be more into a basic HTML question.

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <webmaster@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: myboss@example.com' . "\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
    Code (php):
    You forgot to set the MIME headers for the email

    Hi Einheijar, thanks for the reply!

    I changed the headers to exactly what you had and I still get a text email with the code and not an html email with the link.

    Here is a generic version of the code I'm using without my info. Just generic info:

    <?php
$msg="";
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $from_add = "support@XXXXXXXXXX.com";
    $to_add = "support@XXXXXXXXXX.com";

    $subject = "Test Subject";
   
    $message = "Test Email Message - Click Here: <a href='https://www.google.com'>Test</a>";
       
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
    //$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    //$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $headers = "From: $from_add \r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $from_add \r\n";
    $headers .= "Return-Path: $from_add\r\n";
    $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP \r\n";
   
   
    if(mail($to_add,$subject,$message,$headers))
    {
        $msg = "Mail sent OK";
    }
    else
    {
        $msg = "Error sending email!";
    }
}
?>

    on line # 16 you are missing a dot that is overwriting the $headers.
    instead of $headers ="From: $from_add \r\n"
    use $headers.="From:$from_add \r\n"
