How to define $from in mail()

[Anon]

I have the php mail script the emails data posted from a form. The script works perfectly apart from when the emails arrive they have [e-mail] as the senders address instead of [e-mail].

These two global variables are defined in the script

$strTo = [e-mail]
$strFrom = [e-mail]

This is the part of the script that puts the email together and sends it.

---

global $strFrom,$strTo,$strSubject,$strEmailContent;

$To= $strFrom;
$Subject=$strSubject;
$Body=$strEmailContent;

mail($To,$Subject,$Body);

---

when I tried putting in

global $strFrom,$strTo,$strSubject,$strEmailContent;

$From = $strTo;
$To= $strFrom;
$Subject=$strSubject;
$Body=$strEmailContent;

mail($From,$To,$subject,$Body);

The email would be sent to me instead of the person and the persons email address would move to the subject.

What am I doing wrong?

I believe this would be correct:

mail($To, $Subject, $Body,"From: $From\n"));

ahhh yes thank you.

mail($To,$Subject,$Body,"From: $strTo");

does the trick
