[Resolved] Email?

[furious5]

I am currently playing around with an e-mail script, but my problem is that the web hosts e-mail address is replaced instead of the e-mail address from the recipient.

Any ideas of how to overcome this?

Here is the script I am using:

$to = $contact_email;
$from = $name;
$subject = "Application for Job No: $jobid";
$msg = "This is an auto generated e-mail from Jobclever\n";
$msg .= "Applicant Name: $name\n";
$msg .= "Email Address: $email\n";
$msg .= "Message: $message\n\n";
$msg .= "Jobclever\n";

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $from) or Print "<span class=general>Error : Unable to process email</span>";

Change

$from = $name;

to

$from = "From: $name";

Also to properly include the email address use the following:

$from = "From: \"$name\" <$email>";

or whatever your variable for the email is.
