title: Calling a user e-mail to add to a mailto link PHP
body: <p>So I'm currently working on calling an author's e-mail address into php, then using a mailto: image link so that users can easily e-mail them. </p>
  
  <p>At the moment I am able to call the author's e-mail address and display the image. However, I am unable to add the link to the mailto command, it just echos above the image.</p>
  
  <p>Below I have my current code (which has been censored), so any help would be awesome.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?php
      $email =  ((the_author_meta( 'email' )));
      $src = '[Censored Link]'; // image url
      echo ('&lt;a href=mailto:'. $email .'&gt;&lt;img style="border:none;" src="'. $src .'" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;');
      ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
