How to prevent hyperlins showing up in gmail message

Question

I am sending emails to gmail account. The message has a link. I'd like the link does not show up. Below is the part of the message. Gmail will show this part as it is, but I'd like gmail shows as Please ***click here*** to upload your application form.

Please <a href='http://www.mywebsite.com'>click here </a> to upload your application form.

Thanks.

Before sending your mail make sure you have selected the the mail format as HTML. You can find this according to your respective platform.

The issue here might be because of missing headers for content type. Look at the following example:

$to = 'test@test.com';

$subject = 'PHP Mail Sending';

$headers = "From: scripts@email.com \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: no-reply@email.com \r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";

$message = '<p>Hello, this is to check PHP mail function</p>';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

In above code, the line $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n"; tells the mailer and the recipient that the email contains are well formed HTML
