Email from server

TheBeginner

Hi,

I have my domain parked at a webhotell, so the server is not mine.

If I send email to somebody with the script below the "from" adress loooks like
info.mydomain.com[info.mydomain.com@server.nu]

Code used:
$toadress=$epost;
$subject="subject";
$mailcontent="contect";
$fromadress="info.mydomain.com";
mail($toadress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromadress);

Well, but I looked at the output (email) from the phpBB board I've installed. In that adress "from" I only see:
info.mydomain.com

I want my output also look like that. Is there something wrong with the code, so the server is adding it's own information??

The last parameter to the mail() function is for the message headers, if you want to change what your from address in the message is you would want your last parameter to read
From: info.mydomain.com[info.mydomain.com@server.nu]

So in other words you would do this
$toadress=$epost;
$subject="subject";
$mailcontent="contect";
$fromadress="From: info.mydomain.com[info.mydomain.com@server.nu]\r\n";
mail($toadress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromadress);

Hope this helps!

Ya you need to understand that the From: field is actually a superfisal one that is only shown to the email reader and is actually part of the header, therefore, since it is a header you have to give it a name "From:" and have to end it with line breaks etc.
Hope this clarifys the above persons repsonse, hes right.
