Send to friend: "Send from" specifications?

[lavashark_com]

hey there!
New here but it looks like a nice forum.

I currently have a Send to friend form, and it works great.
But, one complaint - (and I think it's a big one)... Whenever someone sends a script, it sends from "[e-mail]" (my webhost).

In the send to friend, it asks for the users name '$yourname'
How can have it send from '$yourname'?

This code might help a bit:

if (!empty($sendsubmit)) {
$db->addsendnum($newsid);
$title = $db->getname($newsid);

   $showtable = false;
   $message = "Hi $friendname, \n";
   $message .= "Look at this great article that I found \n";
   $message .= $baseurl."/news.php?newsid=".$newsid." \n";
   $message .= "$comment \n";
   $message .= "From, \n";
   $message .= "$yourname \n";      

   mail("$friendemail","I wanted to show you something","$message");
}

?>

Or this:

<?php
if ($showtable){
          print "
<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"POST\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"newsid\" value=\"$newsid\">";
print "<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2>\n";
print "<tr><td align=\"right\">$front_friendname :</td><td><input type=text name=\"friendname\" value=\"\"> <font color=\"#FF0000\">*</font> </td></tr>\n";
print "<tr><td align=\"right\">$front_friendemail :</td><td><input type=text name=\"friendemail\" value=\"\"> <font color=\"#FF0000\">*</font> </td></tr>\n";
print "<tr><td align=\"right\">$front_yourname :</td><td><input type=text name=\"yourname\" value=\"\"> <font color=\"#FF0000\">*</font> </td></tr>\n";
print "<tr><td align=\"right\">$front_comment :</td><td><textarea name=\"comment\" cols=\"30\" rows=\"10\"></textarea></td></tr>\n";
print  "<tr><td></td><td><input type=\"submit\" name=\"sendsubmit\" value=\"$front_sendsubmit\"></p>
</table>\n";
print "</form>";
}
else{
print "$front_newssent";
}
 ?>

You'll want to set the From: and maybe also the Reply-To: headers in the mail message (see the description on that function's manual page for details and examples).

If you are referring to documentation to this TAF script, it's non existant.

Would you mind clarifying, or would you recommend anywhere else that I might read about From: and Reply-To headers in PHP?

Thank you.

found the answer here:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2001/01/25/php_phanatics.html

 mail("$friendemail","I wanted to show you something","$message","From: $youremail");

Anyone know how to make "from" be $yourname, and "email" $youremail?

[Weedpacket]

I meant the PHP manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

[lavashark_com]

yeah was reading that as well,
but still couldnt find anything to send mail, and have from be the name, and reply to appear as their email.

I'll give you a hint:

From: John Doe<[e-mail]>

I love you.

"From: $yourname<$youremail>"

Ah, just like it says in the manual, then.
