When sending a mail with the mail() ...

[Anon]

When i send a mail through the mail() function I get the mail and the sender is "root". all the headers is in the body of the message

Do you want to change the from sender? If so, then you're missing a parameter in the function.

Just add in the last parameter "From: $the_email_address, and it should work. 🙂

mail($to_email, $email_subject, $mailform, "From: $sysemail");

For more options, go to php.net's manual.

This is part of my code. The mail() bit does not work as it should all the headers are in the mail body. i have a another mail() at the end of the script, that works fine, but it is not in a loop.

$count=0;
$adresse=array();
$fcontents = file ("adresses/".$tolist."");
while (list ($line_num, $addr) = each ($fcontents)) {
$adresse[$count] = $addr;
$count++;
}
for ($f=0;$f<=sizeof($adresse)-1;$f++){
set_time_limit(60);
mail($adresse[$f],$subject,$message,"From: $sender\nX-Sender: $sender\nContent-Type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\nReply-To: $fake_from\nX-Priority: $priority\nReturn-Path: $real_email\nErrors-To: $real_mail\nX-Mailer: PHP");
}
