Syntax of $to in mail()

[Krishin]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to set the To: line so that it shows the name as well as the address. When $to is set to "[e-mail]", it works fine, but when I try to use something like "\"Joe Q. Bloggs\" <[e-mail]>", I get a 501 syntax error.

I can get From: to work using:

"\"Joe Q. Bloggs\" <[e-mail]>"

but that doesn't work for To:. Does anyone know the correct way to get To: to work this way?

Many thanks in advance,

Krishin.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Sorry, I should have said that I had tried what was said in that thread, or replied in there.

Here's my code:

<SNIP>
$mailto1 = "[e-mail]";
$mailto2 = "\"Joe Q. Bloggs\" <[e-mail]>";
$mailsubject = "PHP mail To test";
$mailbody = "Mail Test";
$mailheaders = "From: \"Joe Q. Bloggs\" <[e-mail]>";

$result = mail($mailtoN, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailheaders);
</SNIP>

$mailto1 works fine, but $mailto2 doesn't, and gives the error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 Bad address syntax

I'm probably doing something stupidly wrong, but I don't see it. If you have any ideas, I'd be very greatful.

Thanks again,

Krishin.
