Email help needed

[cyberock]

I'm trying to send email from a form. I want to be able to set the from address to the email address in the form. I noticed that it uses the one from the php.ini which I can not change any settings in that since my server admin doesn't give me access. Is there anyway to override the from address? Another question, I noticed AOL moves all my test emails I send from php into a spam folder, anyway around that? Thanks!

With the PHP mail() function, you can send additional headers as the fourth parameter. There are some examples in the manual.

or you can use ini_set("sendmail_from", "yourmailaddress");

Not alot of difference 😉

You can use php mail function like:

mail("email address","subject","messages","From:<your email address>",Additional header);

Here remember that don't leave any blank space between From: and <your email address>.

It may solve your problem.

If not pls let me know.

Thanks
