Email smeemail. (phonetical)

Hi, I am trying to send an email via PHP.

I have a form which sends to:

<?php
$to  = "$form_to_name <$form_to_email>";
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $form_sender_name <$form_sender_email>\r\n";
mail($to, $form_subject, $form_message, $headers);
?>

But.. it only half works. This has been copied and pasted from the email recieved:

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
From: me <[e-mail]>

This is a test, I hope it works

why doesn't it accept the headers?

What isn't it accepting? Without knowing what you are giving it for variables, this looks perfectly acceptable. Also, it is good practice to usually include some of your headers in your message body, especially the From: field and the To: field.

I am sorry. It is not saying the "from" details. As you can see from the quote, it is including them in the message body.

THe "from" address in Outlook express is shown as blank. As is the from name.

Could you show us the way you are getting the information from the form.

Here is the code that I use for my website. It may help.

        $myname = "Cribzero Webmaster";
        $myemail = "[e-mail]";

    $contactname = "Cribzero User";
    $contactemail = $qryEmail;
    $subject = "Forgotten Password";
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n";
    $headers .= "To: " .$contactname." <".$contactemail.">\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: " .$myname." <".$myemail.">\r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." <$myemail>\r\n";
    $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
    $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
    $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP Automated Script";
    $body = "A request has been made to send your password to you.  If you did not make this request,\nthen please disregard this email.\n\nYour username=$qryUser\nYour password=$password";

    mail($contactemail,$subject,$body,$headers,"-f $myemail");
