PHP script authority and email

[kansaschuck]

I've added some send email actions in my php script. I've changed From, return path, reply to to a help@ address. All nicely tucked into a simple function.

This works great and standard emails are getting all the info. But if the script sends to a mobile phone it says the email was from the my main admin userid at my website (not the values on From/Replyto,Returnpath).

Two things: I want people to resond to the help@ address and second I don't care to be sending my admin id all over the place.

And wisdom?

So now....I'm curious that the script ran under any ID. The script is invoked by a any user on the internet. How does a script get it's authority? How can I assign a value to a script that's not the master admin ID?

.......

thanks KC

Well... I been doing some research on this and it's not directly a PHP issue. It's more about CGI scripts in general, root user, default user, CRON job authority.. Lots to learn.
