Server name in email address

kona72

Hi All,
This site has been a God Send for me and I hope that one day I can actually help some one here.
For now though I have another quandry. I have a simple form that when I submit it it come up with the servers address in the email from column rather than the person who sent it. Is there any way around this??

Here is the form;

<?php

if(isset($Submit))
{
if($name != "" && $email != "")
{
$message = "Quote request from your site! Here is the information submitted: 
Name: $name 
Email: $email 
Location: $where 
Needs: $needs 
Phone Number: $number";

	mail("curtis@trafick.net","Information Submitted on Website",$message,"Content-Type: text/html");

	header("Location: thanks.htm");
}
else
{
	$error = "y";
}

}
?>

you need to specify a
From:
header otherwise it will default to the servers setting

i also like to set a reply-to header in addition to a from: header.

the x-msmail junk is because hotmail seems to not accept emails unless it has that header......

$from = 'foo@bar.com';

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "From: <$from>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: <$from>\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hi Again,

Where in the code would I put this??

Ok I have changed the header but still get the server address in the email instead of the email of the sender. AK!!

Here is the code....

<?php

if(isset($Submit))
{
if($name != "" && $email != "" && $sda != "")
{
$message = "Saskatchewan Dietitians Association Continuing Competency Form: 
Name: $name 
SDA Number: $sda 
Street Address: $street 
City: $city 
Email: $email 
Date: $date 
Description of Activity: $description 
Category: $category 
Hours: $hours 
Credits: $credits 
Benefit of Activity: $benefit";

	$from = '$email'; 

	$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
	$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; 
	$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n"; 
	$headers .= "From: <$email>\n"; 
	$headers .= "Reply-To: <$email>\n"; 

	mail("curtis@trafick.net","Continuing Competency Information from Website",$message,"Content-Type: text/html"); 

	header("Location: thanks.htm")
	;
}
else
{
	$error = "y";
}

}
?>
